Israel’s military announced on Friday that it is conducting exercises in preparation for a potential major conflict with neighboring Lebanon.
It was said that reservists from the brigade held various exercises during the week to “accelerate operational readiness”.
The aim was to practice operational readiness and preparation “for various combat scenarios in the north”.
The training held in Galilee in the north of the country simulated combat situations in Lebanon.
Infantry and armored units were trained together with soldiers from logistics and communications units to work together in difficult terrain.
Other troops also exercised with the air force to “qualify for a rapid aerial resupply scenario to ground forces operating in enemy territory.”
For more than seven months, fierce fighting has been constantly breaking out in the border area between Israel and Lebanon. The Hezbollah group has been firing rockets and anti-tank shells into northern Israel since October 8th.
Israel is using air and artillery strikes to combat Hezbollah positions.
Months of mutual shelling have already caused heavy destruction in villages on both sides of the border. About 150,000 people on both sides of the border had to leave their homes, Klix.ba reports.
