IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir this morning ordered a snap inspection of all the military’s top headquarters to test their readiness.

The military says the inspection, led by IDF Comptroller Brig. Gen. (res.) Ofer Sarig, will examine the headquarters’ “emergency order of battle, and the ability to handle a sudden, large-scale, complex, multifront event.”

“Surprise scenarios and multifront events will be drilled in every front of the war,” the IDF says.
