Israel's military has conducted a drill to prepare for simultaneous combat along its borders with Syria and Lebanon.
It said Wednesday the two-week exercise that
combined air, ground and naval forces was aimed at "preparing troops for
a long-term multifront conflict."
GOC Northern Command Maj. Gen. Aviv Kochavi
said it showed how the military is able to "implement operational plans
in all arenas."
Israel fought a monthlong war against the Lebanese terrorist group Hezbollah in 2006. Israel said Wednesday it thwarted a plot by Hezbollah to recruit Palestinians to attack Israelis.
On the Syrian border, Israel has been warily watching as
insurgents battle forces loyal to President Bashar Assad. Israel and
Syria are bitter enemies, but Assad kept the border quiet for decades.
