Large Scale Exercises Aim To Counter Surprise Border Infiltrations
The Israeli military has launched large-scale domestic military exercises to counter surprise border infiltrations and ground raids across northern and central Israel. The drills, which involve multiple divisions and air assets, aim to maintain the forces’ alertness and readiness, strengthen the ability to defend communities, and make full use of aerial capabilities for defense in the area. The exercises follow an IRGC missile exercise, which could carry a ‘risk of miscalculation’. The Israeli military is practicing surprise attack and infiltration scenarios using lessons from the Oct. 7, 2023, assault, as reported by Fox News.
