The Israeli army conducts a military maneuver on the northern front
On Thursday, the Israeli army conducted a military maneuver to test the readiness of its forces and apparatus for the outbreak of a comprehensive war on the northern front, according to Hebrew media.
The Israeli Broadcasting Corporation (official) said that the maneuver “was carried out suddenly, as its aim was to enhance the readiness of the Israeli army for various scenarios on the northern front” (with Lebanon). She added that the maneuver was “multi-weapon” and was conducted through the Army’s Operations Division.
According to the broadcasting authority, the training included military commands and wings, as well as the General Staff.
The Israeli army organized this sudden maneuver, against the backdrop of escalating confrontations with Hezbollah, in addition to the complaints of soldiers serving in the north of the country about the lack of protection available to them when firing from Lebanon, according to the same source.
On Wednesday, the Israeli army hinted that reaching a prisoner exchange deal with the Hamas movement might lead to an agreement with Lebanon as well, according to the Hebrew newspaper Haaretz.
On a daily basis, the border between Lebanon and the occupied Palestinian territories witnesses an exchange of fire in a number of areas, the latest of which was the Israeli army monitoring, earlier Thursday, a barrage of rockets launched from southern Lebanon towards the border settlements in the north of the country.
In solidarity with the Gaza Strip, which has been subjected to a devastating Israeli war with American support since October 7, Hezbollah and Palestinian factions in Lebanon exchange daily bombardments with the Israeli occupation army, resulting in deaths and injuries on both sides of the border.
Since October 7, 2023, Israel has been waging a devastating war on Gaza, leaving tens of thousands of martyrs, most of them children and women, and massive destruction and famine that claimed the lives of children and the elderly, according to Palestinian and UN data.
Israel continues the war despite the issuance of a resolution by the UN Security Council, on Monday, demanding an immediate ceasefire during the month of Ramadan, and also despite its first appearance before the International Court of Justice on charges of committing crimes of “genocide.”
