Under the orders of new IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir, the military this morning launched a snap drill simulating infiltration attacks against IDF bases and posts.
As part of the drill, the Ramat David Airbase in northern Israel will practice a scenario of a surprise infiltration attack from multiple directions, the military says.
Separately, Zamir ordered the IDF comptroller, Brig. Gen. (res.) Ofer Sarig, to carry out a surprise inspection of the Northern Command.
The comptroller will look at the readiness, discipline, and routine activities of the units in the Northern Command, the IDF says.
