Unexpected ’Israeli’ Military Drills in W Bank
Local Editor
The Zionist entity's army announced it was carrying out a two-day "surprise exercise" in the West Bank, with thousands of reservists participating in what marks the first drill of its kind in three years.
According to the military statement, the new army Chief Lieutenant Gadi Eisenkot called up "some 13,000 reserves, 3,000 of whom will physically report for active duty".
"It really is unusual in its scope," a military source declared.
It added, "We activated all of the operational forces that are part of the Central Command's emergency responses. This includes many ground forces, the air force, intelligence, and extensive cooperation with the "Shin Bet". Special forces are involved too."
The source explained that during the drill, the military will practice the deployment of "large forces to the field" in the event of sudden escalation in the West Bank.
Some of the first video footage from the war games showed soldiers in armored vehicles handling casualties in the field.
Nonetheless, the "Israeli" army told the Palestinians that the drill was likely to run for two days.
The "Israeli" move coincided with Palestinian authorities announcing that they could potentially dissolve security cooperation with the Zionist government in the West Bank.
The statement came in response to "Israel" halting the transfer of tax funds collected for the Palestinian Authority two months ago, after the Palestinians went ahead and joined the International Criminal Court.
However, a senior official of President Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah movement, Mahmoud al-Aloul stated, "Decisions will be taken regarding all forms of relations with "Israel"".
But an "Israeli" military spokeswoman denied any connection when speaking about the timing of the exercise. "[It was] not necessarily linked to anything specific," she said.
Such drills were "held from time to time," the spokeswoman added. The last one took place in 2012.
The drills came as the Zionist entity prepared for general elections on March 17 and "Israeli" Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rallied voter support for his Likud Party.
