«Israel» Holds Drills to Fight Hamas, Hezbollah Simultaneously

Local Editor

Part of “Israel’s” plan to prepare its troops for the outbreak of an imminent war, “Israeli” soldiers from the “Maglan”, “Egoz” and “Duvdevan” commando units took part in a major drill last week and will continue this week to prepare for possible simultaneous warfare with Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon.

The 10-day exercise covers different landscapes and fields of combat, and is being conducted in cooperation with the “Israeli” Air Force.

The war-readiness training was the unit’s sixth brigade-wide exercise since December 2015 and has been observed by “Israeli” Occupation Forces’ [IOF] Chief of Staff Gadi Eizenkot.

Hamas, which rules the Gaza Strip, is believed to possess approximately 10,000 rockets and mortar shells, and has fought three wars with the “Israeli” entity in the past decade, not including the skirmish with just this month.

The battle ended with an Egyptian-brokered ceasefire, which has largely held since November 13, but with considerable criticism within the entity, including by former war minister Avigdor Lieberman, who resigned in protest of it, calling it “capitulation to terror.”

Meanwhile, Hezbollah is believed to possess more than 100,000 rockets and missiles, and is believed to have more might than the military forces of individual nations. The group is seen by military analysts as more powerful than some Western militaries.

The “Israeli” entity waged a 34-day war with the Resistance group in Lebanon in 2006. Since then, the Lebanese border has been quieter than in the years preceding the conflict.
