A military statement says the exercise will continue until Tuesday evening in the area between Shavei Tzion in the north and Ashdod in the south.
– The drills will include intensive movements of ships and security forces, the army said, adding that the exercise had been planned in advance and was not linked to any security incident.
– The army also announced another military drill in Raanana, in central Israel, on Monday evening, that it said would include the use of lighting equipment and the intensive movement of army forces and rescue vehicles.
– The drills come as the Middle East region remains on edge after US President Donald Trump said that he had cancelled a planned military strike against Iran on Saturday after Tehran and other Middle Eastern countries requested time to finalise the framework of a peace deal.
