The Israel Defense Forces says it will hold a military exercise this morning in Nahariya, a northern city that has been bombarded by Hezbollah rockets in recent weeks.
The army says residents should not be concerned over an actual security incident should they see increased movement of military vehicles and personnel in the coastal city.
Notably, the army does not say the drill was planned in advance, meaning it may be tied to developments as Israel battles Hezbollah in southern Lebanon.
Nahariya and surrounding cities were targeted in a series of successive rocket volleys Saturday that killed an Israeli man in the nearby town of Shlomi.
The army also says it will be testing alarm systems in several West Bank settlements.
