An IDF exercise at the Reihan checkpoint in Samaria will take place today, Thursday, Jun 11, between 17:30 and 21:30. The drill will include simulated gunfire, explosions, and shouts in Arabic, the military said. Residents are advised to report any unusual incidents to the hotline.
The IDF is conducting a scheduled readiness exercise this evening at the Reihan checkpoint, the main crossing between Samaria and the Jenin area. The drill, set for 17:30–21:30, involves simulated live-fire sounds and Arabic-language shouting — a common practice to prepare troops for real-time checkpoint procedures without escalating tensions. The operator's hotline (1208) was published for residents to report any genuine emergencies. The exercise follows similar recent IDF drills elsewhere: an artillery practice in the northern Golan Heights on June 8 and a Southern Command surprise-attack scenario on June 10. The Zioneer has not yet published a prior bulletin specifically on this Reihan exercise, making this the desk's first report on the drill.
