Preparing 'all theaters of war': Surprise IDF exercise tests readiness for large-scale attacks
A surprise exercise titled 'Dawn,' meant to test the readiness of the IDF general headquarters and main command centers, began on Sunday, the military announced.
Under the direction of Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Eyal Zamir, the drill is meant to test the heat-of-the-moment readiness and abilities of the IDF to deal with large-scale attacks.
As part of the exercise, surprise scenarios and multi-scene events will be practiced in all possible 'theaters of war,' the military explained.
IDF Internal Comptroller Brig.-Gen. (res.) Ofer Sarig and his team will be inspecting and judging the reaction time, both in quality and capability.
IDF's drive to improve
'The IDF will continue and initiate a series of audit activities across all commands, branches, and units in order to improve their competence and readiness,' the statement concluded.
This operation comes as the IDF continues to strike on all fronts, including attacking a Hezbollah terrorist in Lebanon on Saturday night.
The IDF said it struck a Hezbollah terrorist in the Aynata area in southern Lebanon on Saturday, who was collecting intelligence on Israeli forces.
The terrorist's actions constituted a violation of the ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon, the military added.

Iran's president mocks Netanyahu over pledge of help in water crisis
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on Wednesday mocked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's offer to help with Iran's water crisis. Pezeshkian said on X that Israel has denied Palestinians access to water and food, so can't be trusted. 'A regime that deprives people of Gaza from water and food says it will bring water to Iran? A MIRAGE, NOTHING MORE,' he said. Pezeshkian also said during a Cabinet meeting in Tehran that 'those with a deceptive appearance are falsely claiming compassion for the people of Iran. 'First look at the difficult situation of Gaza and (their) defenseless people, especially children who are struggling ... because of hunger, lack of access to potable water and medicine, because of a siege by the brutal regime.' Netanyahu addressed Iranians in a video message on Tuesday, pledging that Israel would help solve the country's severe water shortages once Iran is 'free' from the current government, according to Israeli media, including The Jerusalem Post. The remarks represent a transformation from a state of a war to political spats. In June, Israel carried out waves of airstrikes on Iran, killing nearly 1,100 people, including many military commanders. Retaliatory Iranian strikes killed 28 people in Israel. On Sunday, Pezeshkian told a group off officials that 'we do not have water, we do not have water under our feet and we do not have water behind our dams, so you tell me what do we do? Someone comes and tells me what do I have to do?' He said that 'we are in a serious and unimaginable crisis,' and added that his administration is in touch with experts who are trying to find a solution to the problem. Experts say years of drought and water mismanagement led to the crisis.
