GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Palestinian police are creating new community ties and beefing up security in the West Bank by deploying the force's first mobile station to Area C.

“This station aims to reach communities that are too far from police stations in the cities in Area C," Jabir Tamizi, the mobile unit's director, told Al-Monitor. "These villages and towns do not have any Palestinian police stations because they fall under Israeli control by virtue of the 1993 Oslo Accord." The station is entering these areas in coordination with Israel, he noted.
