The Israel Defense Forces says it will launch a major military exercise across southern Israel tomorrow morning.
The drill, which will last until Thursday evening, will span across the Negev desert, the Arava valley region, and the southernmost city of Eilat.
The IDF says that a high presence of troops, military vehicles, aircraft, and sea vessels will be noted in the area, but there will be no restrictions on civilian movement.
