Practicing dozens of different scenarios and managing explosive events: Division 210 completed a divisional exercise to increase operational readiness in the Golan Heights area

Division 210 completed a divisional exercise in the Golan Heights and on the Syrian border, to increase operational readiness and maintain the forces' ability to deal with explosive and complex events.

All division forces participated in the exercise, alongside allied forces from neighboring sectors and the Home Front Command, in cooperation with the heads of authorities, emergency and rescue agencies, and other entities in the area.

The forces practiced dozens of scenarios - including: rescuing the wounded in the field, joining mass casualty incidents, and medical evacuation.
In addition, management, command and control during combat, and inter-organizational cooperation were practiced.

The exercise included the assimilation of combat lessons from all sectors, and in particular from the lessons of October 7, with an emphasis on the use of standby forces, firepower, special forces, and the vigilance of the entire IDF system.

""The IDF will continue to hold regular exercises with the aim of maintaining and strengthening the readiness of the forces, deepening cooperation between all bodies, and ensuring the security of the residents of the Golan Heights and all citizens of the State of Israel," the IDF spokesman said in a statement.
