By Staff, Agencies

That Hezbollah is getting stronger by the day, troops from the “Israeli” Occupation Forces’ [IOF] 215 Artillery Division have completed a week-long tactical drill simulating war on the Lebanese front using a new operational concept aimed at producing a higher level of effectiveness on the battlefield.

Hundreds of troops as well as officers, commanders and reservists from the 402^nd and 55^th battalions participated in the tactical drill taking place in the Jordan Valley, which began on Sunday.

The level and size of the exercise is “something that has never happened before,” 402^nd Battalion Commander Lt.-Col. Udi Amir told The Jerusalem Post. “One of the important parts of the drill is the new operational concept which will allow us to independently fulfill the mission.”

According to Amir, the division has been drilling on bettering their understanding and use of all the new cutting-edge weapon systems that the Artillery Corps has recently acquired such as high-caliber gun systems, remotely piloted aerial vehicles and new computer systems.

With all the new technology and systems, “it’s easier for us to destroy the enemy before they disappear,” he said. Accordingly, the battalion is drilling for possible war with Hezbollah in the “Israeli” entity’s northern border.

According to Amir, the challenge facing the “Israeli” entity’s military is the size of Hezbollah and their missile arsenal, which will make the “need to react faster and in a stronger way because it’s a bigger country. Will also need more forces. It’s a totally different war.”
