The Defense Ministry's Crossings Authority has announced a security exercise at the Meitar crossing tonight, Monday, from 19:00 to 02:00 Jerusalem time. According to an N12 report, the drill will include live fire and explosion sounds, and Highway 60 will be closed to traffic intermittently. Meitar is a crossing in the southern Hebron Hills area of Judea and Samaria, used for movement between Israel and the Palestinian Authority. The exercise is consistent with the ministry's routine schedule of security drills at border crossings across Judea and Samaria; as The Zioneer has reported, similar exercises have been held in recent weeks at the Eliyahu, Trans-Samaria, HaLamed-He, Reihan, and Lachish crossings. No details on the drill's scenario or media access have been released.
