The Israeli Army began this Sunday the longest military drill in the last three decades with a fictitious "month of war" aimed at preparing for combat in numerous military areas. The exercise, called 'Chariots of Fire', will consist of training soldiers and reservists from all units in combat and emergency scenarios. The maneuvers will simulate various extreme scenarios to enhance the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) readiness for war on various fronts on a "dynamic and changing battlefield." The military exercises come amid rising tensions in the region, and the situation on Israel's northern border with Lebanon and Syria is seen as particularly volatile at the moment. The Israeli Air Force regularly attacks targets in Syria as part of efforts to prevent Iran, its biggest regional rival, from expanding its influence in the war-torn country. A few days ago, the head of the Lebanese Shiite party-militia Hezbollah, Hasan Nasrallah, warned Israel of any attempt to develop "aggressive actions", hence, according to Lebanese media, the formation is on high alert for these exercises.
