PA security forces conduct massive drill in 4 West Bank cities

The Palestinian Authority security forces carry out a large exercise in four cities in the West Bank which include all the PA’s security arms, a PA official says.

The exercise on Tuesday sought to evaluate how PA security forces work together in simultaneous “complex security situations,” Abdel Karim Abu Arqoub, a senior aide to PA security forces spokesman Adnan Damiri, says in a phone call.

The drill took place in Ramallah, Nablus, Jenin and Bethlehem, and hundreds of members of the PA security forces participated in it, Abu Arqoub adds, noting that he expects similar exercises to take place in the coming months.

“The initial results of the drill are very positive,” he says.
