Israel's Prison Service (IPS) recently conducted an unusually large-scale operational drill simulating a severe security scenario: a terrorist attack on a detention facility. The exercise took place last Monday at the "Lavi" facility in southern Israel.
The drill was led by the elite "Metzada" unit of the IPS and involved cooperation with Squadron 123 of the Air Force. As part of the simulation, four helicopters were dispatched to the area, transporting the "Metzada" unit's combatants to the site, reflecting preparations for a complex security incident.
During the exercise, forces practiced responding to various scenarios mimicking a terrorist assault on a detention facility. This included evaluating rapid response capabilities, the arrival of special forces via air, and managing an evolving situation on the ground. The drill also incorporated the practice of helicopter evacuation of casualties from the scene to test emergency medical and operational responses and the collaboration between the "Metzada" unit and the Air Force.
The Prison Service emphasized that the drill is part of its ongoing training program to maintain a high level of operational readiness. The primary goals were to enhance inter-force coordination, improve joint operational capabilities, and ensure a swift and effective response to any attempted attack on Israeli detention facilities.
