The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) will conduct extensive drills on Sunday and Monday simulating attacks on Israel from multiple directions. The maneuvers will take place in northern and central Israel, shortly before national elections. Participating forces will include the Israeli Air Force, and the Northern and Central Commands. The military has warned of an increased security and air presence in the designated areas during the exercises. According to the IDF, the goal of the drills is to enhance the army's readiness to repel multi-front attacks along the country's borders and to practice responses to sharp escalations. Soldiers will train for various scenarios, including sudden attacks and infiltrations into Israeli territory by air and land. Lessons learned from the October 7 attack are also incorporated into the training program. The army emphasized that the drills were planned in advance and are not linked to a specific security threat, nor do they indicate the military possesses intelligence about an impending attack.
