This past week, the Haifa Naval Base carried out a joint drill with several other units and a hospital, simulating war in Lebanon.
Participating in the joint drill were the IDF’s 146th Division, the Home Front Command’s Search and Rescue Brigade, and the Oded Reserve Infantry Brigade, as well as the Israel Police and Rambam Hospital.
It was the latest in a series of drills which the military says are part of its efforts to increase readiness amid heightened tensions on the northern border.
The drill simulated “defense and attack scenarios in the northern maritime arena,” including defending the maritime border, evacuating wounded under fire, and other emergency situations, the IDF says.
