The Israel Defense Forces announces that it will conduct a drill throughout today in the Upper Galilee, an area still partially on war footing following months of fighting against the Hezbollah terror group in Lebanon.
The army warns that civilians in the area may see increased military activity, but “there is no concern over a security incident,” the IDF says in a statement.
The announcement is made a day after Defense Minister Israel Katz toured Israeli military posts in southern Lebanon — set to be removed under a ceasefire deal signed in November — and threatened that Israel could take severe action if cross-border drone attacks do not end.
