The IDF says it is carrying out a drill today that will last until the evening hours, in the West Bank, Jordan Valley, near the Dead Sea hotels, and Golan Heights.

The drill will simulate “extreme scenarios,” the military says, including infiltrations into Israeli communities, violent rioting, and numerous simultaneous incidents in the area.

The IDF warns of increased movement of military vehicles and sounds of explosions amid the drill.
