IDF won’t open training grounds to public on Independence Day, will keep holding drills

The Israeli military will not open its training grounds to hikers for Independence Day, as it does most years, because of the national lockdown in place over the holiday.

The Israel Defense Forces warns that its troops will continue to hold exercises in these training grounds.

“Entering these training grounds represents a danger to life,” the military says.
