=== Notable commanders ===
The sector of the division extends over a large area and is surrounded on its northern and western sides by the [[Israeli West Bank barrier|separation fence]], which separates the areas of the [[West Bank]] and Israel. To the south, the sector borders on the [[Samaria Territorial Brigade|Samaria]] and [[Ephraim Territorial Brigade|Ephraim]] Territorial Brigades, and on the east by the [[Valley Territorial Brigade]].
{| class="wikitable"

In addition to the cities, in the sector of the brigade there are hundreds of Palestinian villages, for example [[Ya'bad]] and [[Barta'a]]. The villages are divided between [[Tulkarm]] and [[Jenin]], and many of them are in [[Palestinian enclaves|area A]]. There are about three refugee camps in the sector ([[Fahma]], [[Nur Shams]] and the [[Jenin Camp|Jenin refugee camp]]), and the town of [[Qabatiya]].

There are also a number of [[Israeli settlement|settlements]] in the sector, including [[Mevo Dotan]], [[Avnei Hefetz]], and the group of settlements that includes [[Shaked]], [[Reihan|Rihan]], [[Hinanit]] and [[Tal Menashe|Tel Menashe]]. As a result of the [[Israeli disengagement from Gaza|2005 disengagement]], about three settlements in the sector of the brigade were evacuated - [[Ganim]], [[Kadim]] and [[Sa-Nur]].
