Explosion heard during IDF drill near Gaza border
An explosion is heard in the southern community of Kissufim in what the army says is part of an ongoing military drill.
In a statement, the IDF says the drills — one near Kissufim and the other near the city of Ashkelon — were planned in advance as part of the army’s 2017 schedule, and that the exercises are intended to maintain the army’s preparedness.
The exercises in both locations are expected to conclude by Wednesday evening.
