The Israeli military has redrawn wartime logistics plans to avoid some Arab-majority towns in Israel following an outbreak of violence during the conflict with Gaza earlier this year.

The Israel Defense Forces’ logistics directorate mapped out some 1,600 km of dirt roads which can be used as alternate routes to supply frontline forces in case of war, the directorate’s commander, Maj. Gen. Yitzhak Turgeman, said Friday during an interview with Maariv news.
