Bedouins are a “sensitive issue” for IDF

Israel keeps her border with Egypt wide open to Bedouins tribes. IDF’s soldiers on border duty have no instructions on dealing with massive Bedouin caravans; camels are often used for smuggling arms and drugs into Israel. Israel refrains from cracking down on Bedouins, even tolerates their polygamy.
Other Arabs consider Bedouin the worst scum. Bedouins commonly and with great brutality raided Jewish settlements before 1948. Israel later bought them off to pursue Arab infiltrators in deserts.
