IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir visited the 210th “Bashan” Regional Division in northern Israel this morning, amid an ongoing snap drill testing its readiness.
The division is responsible for the border with Syria in the Golan Heights and the Mount Dov area on the border with Lebanon.
In addition to the drill, the IDF says Zamir was updated on the army’s preparations on the Lebanon border, and he instructed troops to increase their level of alert following the killing of Hezbollah’s military chief in Beirut yesterday.
