Next Monday, the Israeli army will begin a military exercise simulating repelling an attack similar to Operation Al-Aqsa Flood launched by the Palestinian resistance on the occupation bases and settlements in the Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023.
The official Israeli Broadcasting Corporation said that the Israeli army will begin a large-scale military exercise next week, led by the Central Region, “based on the lessons learned from the events of October 7.”
The exercise is being conducted as part of efforts to raise preparedness to confront the possibility of escalation, armed infiltration, and operations in the West Bank and the Jordan Valley, according to the commission.
She explained that the exercise is scheduled to begin next Monday, and includes two military divisions: the West Bank Division and the Gilad Division (96), and will continue for three days.
In addition to units from the Air Force, special units, forces from the General Security Service (Shin Bet), police, and civil defense forces deployed in the region, according to the authority.
The exercise aims to train all parties on a variety of emergency scenarios, to ensure a unified and effective response in the event of any real threat.
The broadcasting authority said that, coinciding with these preparations, a special discussion was held under the chairmanship of Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir, which focused on the threat of drones, indicating that the exercise may include a simulation of confronting this type of unconventional aerial threat.
