In an apparent warning to the Hezbollah terror group, the IDF issues a statement saying it is carrying out intensive training in northern Israel.
The army says the training, dubbed “precious time,” is aimed at preparing the soldiers for “additional possible scenarios on the northern border,” while carrying out their routine operations in the area.
It says the troops are training during the day and at night, in open and urban areas, and from the level of platoons to battalions. The soldiers are also being taught how to use armored vehicles and other weaponry.
