1. A warning
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (06.24.13)
Many Leftists say that they were completely surprised and never expected that the Israel's surrender of South Lebanon to Hezbollah, arming the Fatah Terror group, or surrendering Gaza to Hamas would damage Israel's security. So let this exercise be a warning to all Leftists: the scenario was for a terror attack from Judea and Samaria. It does not matter whether the city that was attacked was Netanya, Kfar Saba, Shoham or Modiin, the message is clear. Netanyahu's and Left plan to establish a Fatah terror state in Judea and Samaria will lead to a reality where hundreds of civilians and tens of soldiers die.

3. Read between the lines?

In US such drills are often followed by the real thing, except our drills are usually related to natural disasters or shootings in malls/schools. Is this really just a standard training exercise or a warning? I'm trying to build a life in Israel but reading this makes me nervous.
4. #3 Israel must be prepared
Get Real ,   UK   (06.24.13)
It is right that a realistic view has been taken and that security drills are rehearsed. Always hope for the best but prepare for the worst, particularly with the current instability in the region and the chaos in Syria. When the terrorists cease their threats and hostility to Israel, recognise its right to exist and allow it to live in peace then Israel would have no need for such drills. It would be more worrying if whilst the Arabs were slaughtering each other in Syria that Israel became complacement and ignored the possibility of terror attacks. With Hezbollah gaining ground experience in Syria it may feel emboldened to commit terror attacks from Lebanon and/or Syria, whilst the extremist Islamic rebels fighting in Syria may turn to provoke and draw Israel into the fighting. Let the terror entities of the region see that Israel is prepared for all eventualities. Meanwhile enjoy and get on with your life in the knowlege that security is ready and available to protect the State.
