The Israeli military's Jordan Valley and Ghaur Brigade, stationed along the eastern border and in the Jordan Valley region, conducted a training exercise on Sunday and Monday. The exercise, part of the 96th Division's training, involved trackers from the brigade playing a central role. Following the main exercise, the trackers moved on to specialized winter training for their unit. They are scheduled to participate next week in a training exercise with the "Ashir" Battalion 47, which will return to its area of responsibility near Jericho.

According to an officer of the trackers in the brigade, Lieutenant Colonel A, the primary focus of the trackers' training was transitioning from routine to emergency situations. He stated that in emergencies, trackers play a crucial role in monitoring operatives, citing the August 23 stabbing incident in the village of Al-Auja, where trackers were instrumental in pursuing and apprehending the assailant. During the division-level training, trackers were called to towns in the Jordan Valley to handle a scenario involving the infiltration of suspects.

Lieutenant Colonel A added that the trackers possess intimate knowledge of the region. Consequently, new battalions and commanders taking up duties in the area often rely on their expertise and field knowledge.
