The 431st "Menasha" Territorial Brigade (also known as the Jenin Brigade) is a Territorial Brigade in the Israel Defense Forces whose role is to control law and order in the Jenin and Tulkarm sectors and to prevent terrorist attacks. The brigade is under the command of the Judea and Samaria Division.[1]
The brigade is named after the tribe of Menashe which according to the bible was settled in the same area as the brigade.[2]
The Brigade's emblem is built out of 4 pieces: Blue and white lines, symbolizing the flag of Israel, the Gilboa mountain, A wall that symbolizes the West Bank separation barrier and the lion that represents the Central Command.
The Headquarters of the unit is located in a military camp near Ein Shemer.[3]
Unlike the other territorial divisions in the West Bank, the Menasha Division is not responsible for just one central Palestinian district, but for two: Jenin and Tulkarm.
