Report: Israel Conducts Military Maneuvers Simulating War With Hezbollah
by David Daoud
Israel’s Home Front Command conducted military exercises on Wednesday morning which simulated dozens of rockets falling on the cities of the Galilee, in addition to the infiltration of tens of northern settlements by Hezbollah operatives, in an envisioned Third Lebanon War, Hezbollah’s news organ Al-Manar claimed.
During these exercises, Israeli news sources, including Yediot Achronot, noted that warning sirens would be sounded throughout the Galilee at 5:55 PM on Wednesday.
Additionally, Al-Manar claimed that the Israel Defense Forces expects that dozens of Israelis would be killed if a new confrontation with Hezbollah erupts. The Lebanon based terror group says it closely follows Israeli Home Front Command exercises and simulations.
These exercises will continue until Thursday evening, according to the report.
