The Israeli army is training in the Jordan Valley to counter an attack similar to October 7.

The Israeli army will begin a military exercise next Monday simulating the defense against an attack similar to the Al-Aqsa Flood operation launched by the Palestinian resistance against the occupation's bases and settlements in the Gaza envelope on October 7, 2023.

The official Israeli broadcasting authority stated that the Israeli army will start a large-scale military exercise next week, led by the central command, "based on the lessons learned from the events of October 7."

The exercise is part of efforts to enhance readiness to confront the possibility of escalation, infiltration by armed individuals, and operations occurring in the West Bank and the Jordan Valley, according to the authority.

It was clarified that the exercise is scheduled to begin next Monday and will involve two military divisions: the West Bank Division and the Gilad Division (96), lasting for three days.

In addition to units from the Air Force, special units, and forces from the General Security Service (Shabak), as well as police and civil defense forces deployed in the area, according to the authority.

The aim of the exercise is to train all these parties on a diverse range of emergency scenarios to ensure a unified and effective response in the event of any real threat.

The broadcasting authority mentioned that, coinciding with these preparations, a special discussion was held chaired by Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir focusing on the threat of drones, indicating that the exercise may include a simulation of confronting this type of unconventional aerial threats.
