    The Israeli-Egyptian border is not so boring lately... African 'refugees', drugs, whores, and possibly some terrorist infiltrators from Gaza via Sinai.
    The government decides to build a fence, but it takes time.

    The best Miluim lines are on the Israeli-Egyptian border.
    If you get to man the roadblocks on the way to Eilat, you get to eat like a pig and get to the beach every few days.

    Yup, and the beautiful summer camp of Shivta, if I remember correctly the tent camp in the middle of nothing.

    I'm sure they'll have some interesting activity in and around the Gaza Strip.
    Sure.
    Eventually they'll even get different kav's.
    Sounds like a waste of resources to me..

    I myself expected to hear news about Kfir's new GADSAR as pose to another battalion under Givati but I guess the Southern Command is in greater need for more non-reserve units.

    The "Allya battalion" is a social movement, not a military unit.

    are you sure?

    i watched a documentry filmed about them and it was pre 2006 so rather old but they had their own badge, they went on their own patrol, they had their own office

    after all they serve as one unit

    also if they were just a social movement i dont think they would have idf uniform, m16, uzi, sniper rifles and all other infantry kit

    i dont really know though what sepereates a social movement from a military unit at least not in israel

    No, there was definitely an article in Yediot Achronot (Top israeli newspaper) around the time of the 2006 Lebanon War that spoke about the "Aliya Brigade" fighting Hezzies in Southern Lebanon. It said that they were all Russian Snipers who fought in Chechnya and Afghanistan in the 90's.
    Ill see if I can find it.

    ^^^^^

    Is there confusion between a unit 1) comprised of olim (immigrants), and 2) the term aliyah (immigrant) brigade? There are some units that have a high number of olim, and are known as olim units. So, the misnomer of an aliyah brigade is plausible.

    For example, my nahal tironut (basic) mahlaka (platoon) was only olim, even the mem-kafim (sargeants) were olim. As we went through our maslul (steps)through the IDF, the original group of olim was substantially diluted, but the platoon was always referred to as the platoon of olim.
