by Emmitt Barry, Worthy News Correspondent

(Worthy News) – The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have successfully completed an extensive defense drill in northern Israel, engaging the 146th Reserve Division, Navy, Air Force, police, and rescue services. This multi-branch exercise, conducted alongside Israeli emergency services, aimed to enhance readiness and foster cooperation among various agencies for defense scenarios in the north.

The Israel Police, Fire and Rescue services, paramedics, and other standby forces took part in a comprehensive exercise on the northern border, led by the IDF and involving reservists from the 146th Division, in collaboration with the Navy and Air Force. The 146th Division, recognized as the IDF’s largest reserve division, has been active in the Western Galilee since the war’s outset, according to military sources.

“The IDF continues to train vigorously in order to maintain full readiness for all threats and attempts by the enemy to harm the citizens of Israel or its territory,” the IDF said in a statement.

The exercise was conducted against the backdrop of daily attacks by the Iranian-backed Hezbollah terrorist organization on northern Israel.

The IDF has announced its intention to establish a safe and secure buffer zone along the Lebanon border to safeguard residents from the threat of terrorism posed by Hezbollah.

Since October 2023, Israel has evacuated approximately 60,000 residents from the northern border towns, who have been displaced from their homes.
