The #IDF's newly formed 810th "Mountains" Regional Brigade, tasked with the #MountHermon and #MountDov regions, carried out its first exercise, simulating an offensive in #Lebanon, the military says.
2⃣The Mountains Brigade was established in March, replacing the Hermon Regional Brigade, which the army said was part of "adapting the operational response to the changing reality on the #SyriaLebanonBorder."
3⃣The drill included "attack scenarios in #Lebanon, including combat in dense vegetation [and] combat in urban areas," the #IDF says.
The exercise comes amid daily attacks by the #Hezbollah terror group on northern #Israel in the #Gaza Strip.
4⃣#Israel has warned it can no longer tolerate #Hezbollah's presence along its border following the October 7 atrocities, and has warned that should a diplomatic solution not be reached, it will turn to Military action to push #Hezbollah northward.
