Itongadol.- The IDF\’s Givati infantry brigade recently conducted a drill that simulated a much-feared scenario of a Palestinian terrorist infiltrating an Israeli town near Gaza and taking hostages.
In video footage from the drill, which was conducted near the Israeli-Egyptian border, a group of combat troops can be seen practicing an armed raid of a building. Their commander, Lt. Yair Alsheikh, explained that exercises like this happen on a regular basis.
"There are always going to be terrorists," he said. "Sometimes the conditions change or the landscape changes, but at the end of the day the terrorist can reach any place, and that\’s why we practice as much as we can."
