Israeli Military Simulates Massive Iranian Missile Attack on Cities
The army has yet to comment on the exercise or the report by local media, which carried the headline “2,000 missiles on Israel: Fear of intense Iranian bombardment of Israeli population centers,” and no official statement had been issued as of 1650GMT.
“The Home Front Command carried out the largest drill in recent times, simulating the treatment and rescue of casualties from a site of destruction,” the reports said.
According to the coverage, “hundreds of soldiers and commanders from the Home Front Command’s Rescue Brigade participated in the drill, which was held at a facility at the army base in Zikim, south of the city of Tel Aviv. The scenario simulated a missile attack from Iran targeting a major population center in Israel.”
The exercise reportedly “began at around 2:00 am local time, during which all training and command frameworks of the Rescue Brigade, civilian rescue personnel, and Home Front Command leaders were trained. The exercise simulated the collapse of buildings and towers and widespread destruction.”
“The Israeli army says this is the most significant drill conducted by the Home Front Command since tensions with Iran began, but notes that it was a pre-planned exercise as part of the training schedule,” the reports added.
Israel has indicated that it wants any talks between the US and Iran to address Iran’s missile capabilities and its backing of regional groups, not solely its nuclear program.
In a previous escalation, Israel, supported by the US, launched a 12-day military campaign against Iran last June, to which Tehran responded by targeting large areas inside Israel before a US-brokered ceasefire was announced.
