Israel maintains heightened military activity in the north

DEBKAfile’s military sources report heavier military traffic than usual, including tanks, were to be seen on the Golan and Israel’s borders with Lebanon, amid high tension on in these areas. Saturday, the IDF instructed people living near the Lebanese border to practice dousing lights and blacking out their windows – a directive to which the IDF has never resorted before. Friday, reinforced troop units conducted a readiness drill in the Galilee and Golan areas.
