Israel Preparing For War? IDF Calls Up Hundreds of Thousands For Drills
21st Century Wire says…
Is something big on the horizon?
Watch a video of this report here:
Hundreds of thousands of Israelis are being called up on extremely short notice by the IDF to participate in emergency readiness drills.
An IDF source has said: ‘We want to ensure that the system is well-oiled and working.’
The Israeli Navy and Air Force are also participating in the drills and are looking to test emergency intelligence gathering for purpose of conducting air strikes. Perhaps Iran is the would-be target.
