Elite IDF Lotar fighters conducted one of the largest recent drills in the southern resort city Eilat, rehearsing scenarios including multi-point infiltration, mass casualty incidents, hostage-taking and attacks on schools, hotels and beaches. The exercise incorporated lessons from the 7 October attacks, including helicopter deployment of reinforcements to prepare the city for potential militant operations. The training underscores ongoing security preparations for potential cross-border threats.
