The IDF says it is continuing to increase its readiness on the northern border, carrying out large exercises amid the winter weather.
The 146th and 210th Divisions have been carrying out drills with reservists, while the Golani Brigade began this week the “procedure for increasing readiness on the northern border,” the army says.
The exercises have simulated fighting and medical evacuations along Israel’s northern border, in “complex” and hilly terrain and amid winter weather, according to the IDF.
The IDF says this week, as part of its efforts to increase readiness, the chief of the Northern Command, Maj. Gen. Ori Gordin, held meetings with Israeli Air Force officials at the Ramat David Airbase, following plans approved by Gordin and the IAF chief, Maj. Gen. Tomer Bar.
