IDF to stage mock war with Hezbollah in largest drill in 20 years
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleTens of thousands of Israeli soldiers, naval ships, drones, helicopters and fighter jets will stage a mock 10-day war against the Hezbollah terrorist group in northern Israel beginning Tuesday, making it the IDF’s largest exercise in nearly 20 years, the army announces Monday.
The drill, known as “Or Hadagan” in Hebrew, is named for Meir Dagan, a former head of the Mossad intelligence service and former commander of the IDF’s Northern Command who died last year.
It is slated to begin at daybreak Tuesday and end on September 14, the military says.
