IDF to evacuate northern villages in war exercise
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe IDF is planning a major war exercise on the northern border next week that will see the residents of several Jewish villages along the Lebanese border evacuate to the Jordan Valley, Channel 2 reports.
The exercise comes a decade after the 2006 Second Lebanon War, when hundreds of Hezbollah rockets landed on Israeli cities and towns, forcing some 300,000 Israelis to flee to the center of the country.
The exercise is a joint effort of the Defense Ministry, Upper Galilee Regional Council and National Emergency Authority.
