The Israel Defense Forces will stage an exercise, Monday afternoon in an area covering Ami'ad, Gamla, Katzrin, Meron and Tzfat. During the drill, there will be brisk troop movements, the sounding of rising and falling sirens and the sounds of explosions.

The IDF Spokesperson's Office says the exercise was planned as part of the annual training schedule and is not related to tensions on the northern and southern borders.
