The Backbone of the IDF: Reserve Units Train at Tze’elim
Posted on December 1, 2011by Israel Defense Forces
On Wednesday, November 30, a reserve division held a joint-training drill at Tze’elim base; it involved forces from the Israel Air Force, Armored Corps, Paratroopers Brigade and Artillery Corps. After reservists mistakenly fired artillery 100 meters from their own forces, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz halted the exercise and requested an initial inquiry. The drill resumed later that day, but excluded artillery forces.
