The chief of the IDF Northern Command, Maj. Gen. Ori Gordin, says that the military is determined to change the security situation on the Lebanon border as soon as possible, amid heightened tensions with Hezbollah.
“The mission is clear: We are determined to change the security reality as soon as possible. The commitment of the commanders and the troops here is complete, with peak readiness for any task that will be required,” Gordin says in remarks provided by the IDF.
Gordin today visited a drill carried out by reservists of the IDF’s 179th Brigade. Another drill was carried out this week by the 769th “Hiram” Regional Brigade, the IDF says.
Both brigade-level drills simulated fighting in Lebanon, including maneuvering in enemy territory and extracting wounded under fire, according to the military.
The drills are the latest in a series carried out by the IDF for a potential war in Lebanon.
