Tel Aviv, Oct 25 (Prensa Latina) The Israeli army has launched joint ground and air drills in the West Bank and the occupied Syrian Golan, involving four ground force divisions and air force units, a military spokesperson reported today.

Spokesperson Ella Waweya posted on X that the maneuvers encompassed the areas of responsibility of the West Bank Division, the 98th, 96th, and 210th Divisions, belonging to the Central and Northern Commands.

The spokesperson explained that the West Bank Division, tasked with military operations in that occupied Palestinian territory, is participating alongside the 98th Division, consisting of paratroopers and commando units.

The 96th Division, a reserve unit under the Central Command, is responsible for sectors along the eastern border with Jordan, including the Jordan Valley, and takes part.
