Northern communities drill for mass evacuation in next Lebanon war
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA decade after the start of the Second Lebanon War, Israel is holding a drill in northern communities pounded by Hezbollah rockets during the 33-day conflict.
The exercise focuses on the evacuation of communities in the Upper Galilee Regional Council, should Hezbollah fire a thousand rockets a day from Lebanon.
This is the biggest drill since the end of the 2006 war, and practices preparations for a significant combat event between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon.
The drill was planned in advance but has no connection to the anniversary of the war, Channel 2 says.
It includes the evacuation of communities in the council, including the string of kibbutzim situated along the Lebanon border.
