Israel launched major military drills preparing for war with Hezbollah, Syria, and Iran on Monday. The exercises, Israel’s largest since “Chariots of Fire” in May 2022, are simulating a war which begins with fighting in the north and then spreads to other fronts, namely Iran.
“The Joint Chiefs of Staff exercise ‘Firm Hand’ began today and will last for about two weeks. The exercise will simulate multi-arena combat in air, sea, land, electromagnetic spectrum, and in the cyber arena,” according to an Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) statement.
