IDF chief orders troops on Gaza border to stay on alert
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIDF Chief of Staff Aviv Kohavi orders troops along the Gaza border to remain on alert for “various scenarios in the region,” the army says, amid peak tensions between Israel and terror groups in the Strip.
Earlier in the day, Kohavi visited the Gaza Division and met with its commander Brig. Gen. Eliezer Toledano, along with Southern Command chief Maj. Gen. Herzi Halevi.
“During their situational assessment, the chief of staff demanded the troops be prepared for various scenarios in the region,” the army says.
The military says this especially applies for the infantry, armored and artillery reinforcements that were recently sent to the region.
