The Israel Defense Forces will be holding a drill tomorrow morning in the northern city of Kiryat Shmona, near the Lebanon border.

During the exercise, military vehicles will be moving through the area, the IDF says.

The drill was planned in advance, and is aimed at “maintaining the competency and vigilance of the troops,” the military says.

One of the goals of the exercise is to improve the military’s ongoing cooperation with the municipality and other local authorities, the IDF adds.
