The Israel Defense Forces says it will hold a two-day military exercise on the eastern part of the border with Lebanon, starting tomorrow morning.

According to the IDF the drill, led by the 769th Brigade, was preplanned, meaning it did not stem from any new security assessment.

Residents of the area in the north of the country are warned that explosions may be heard throughout the drill, which is slated to end Wednesday afternoon.
