IDF Concludes Exercise Simulating Response to Infiltration from the Eastern Border

Assessment
The IDF has completed an exercise simulating an infiltration from the eastern border, focusing on scenarios involving settlements, drones, and hotels. This signals a heightened readiness for a multi-front threat, likely tied to Iran or its proxies. The choice of civilian targets suggests concern over asymmetric warfare. Watch for whether this drill leads to operational changes or public preparedness measures.
