01 · THE DISPATCH

The IDF began a military exercise this morning in the southern Hebron Hills, a region in the southern Judean mountain range. The drill involves active troop movement and the use of live fire and explosions, and is scheduled to conclude around midday. The exercise follows a pattern of recent IDF drills across the country: as The Zioneer reported on June 10 and 11, the military conducted a command-level surprise exercise in the Eshkol area, a Southern Command drill simulating a large-scale attack scenario, and a drill at the Reihan checkpoint in Samaria. The southern Hebron Hills exercise is a routine readiness drill; no communities are affected beyond increased military traffic and audible drill sounds in the area.
