Bravo ,Kol Hakavod to the I.D.F. who took a responsible move by testing and refining the response in case of an emergency ,heaven forbid.It is comforting to know .

It sends a timely message and warning to any who think they can catch Israel off guard again. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!

It would be appropriate to run these drills at random times at random times throughout the year as well. Given the environment in which you dwell, quarterly would not be unreasonable.

To all IDF members and reservists - thank you and have an easy Fast.

Israel holds mobilization drills all the time. It's just that Yom Kippur is the holiest day on the Jewish calendar. I wonder what the world's reaction would be were Israel to attack an Arab or Moslem nation on Ramadan or Eid.

Good luck Israel.

You try to appease those arround you and it will lead to your own downfall. You did it once, is it happening again?

I wish I was able to join and help. Be careful and be safe, soldiers!

Lots of respect for the Israeli military, but why do they wear bright green uniforms for war in the desert?

May God's protection be upon you always

God bless the mighty IDF! This Christian Zionist will be praying for you; and, if need be: for your soon defeat of the Muslims that surround your great nation. I'm sure, with God's help, you'll make it six for six (wars' fought). God bless Israel and their very own eternal city Jerusalem. Much love and prayers!

the supplies the army needs for a prolonged three front war? Increase the defense budget now. Be especially prepared for a new front in the south.

Central & Northern Israel are green, forested and lush. Not what most people imagine.

You asked: "I wonder what the world's reaction would be were Israel to attack an Arab or Moslem nation on Ramadan or Eid." A very good question considering how the Arabs in Gaza honored Ramadan this year. Celebrating the holiest month of the Muslim year by firing rockets and mortars to kill Jews seems to beg for a response in kind. The Arabs are lucky that Jews are not monsters like they are.

the most holy day in the vietnamese calendar, a most important holiday. a military debacle, eventually, for the vietcong, but a media coup in the west, serving as their force multiplyer, (in spades). for those who might see patterns in events, ( like who might or might not be the puppet masters) does it ring any bells?

I am dismayed that it is necessary to prepare reserve divisons for the upcoming, as the Arabs say, "Final Jihad', or, "The Mother of all battles". We are not now in an era simiaor to the blood curdling screams heard prior to the 67 War..then again in 73 when the Arabas attacked we Jews worldwide, during our most holy hliday. (Can anyone imagin if they attacked US on Christmas?. I know what we Americans would deamnd from our govenment. Using reserviss in tank warfare, is passe guys. This is the age of missiles and tactical mukes, or two of which, launched from an undergound in Israel, and targeting Syria or Lebanon..would end the w ar quickly..with lots of virgins waiting.

I agree with those who say the drill may wind up in a full fledged real battlle. I am also aggravated at Israel's tactics..in effect giving a warning w/oacting..to Syrai and Lebanon. If Israel attacks Syria, as per Assads statments yesterday, he will respond by launching missiles in Israel, especially Tel Aviv. Iran has already joined the chorus of threats..and I suspect Turkey will send its fleet to blockade Israel's shores. What Israel needs to do, is use, as a pretext, Syrias slaughtering of her own innocent pious Shias..and Sunnis ( tanks, snipers, torture, paid mercenaries), send those divisions into Kuneitar..as a base. Then use their 20,000 artillery guns to fire into Damascus..hitting Assads thugs and his regime. I would then mobilize 500,000 reservistgs..and launch the final Jihad, that is, against Assad. W/O Syria, there can be no peace, andw/o it, no war. While Israel is at it, searching and destroying Hamas bases would also end this conflict, once and for all. Use the Golani and Givati Brigades as starters..

The army uniform of the IDF is (dark) olive green, not bright green.

Those who worship the creation have long controlled the media. We know that there would be world wide condemnation if Israel attacked during islam's "holy" days.

they don't intend on hiding in caves or amongst civilians

Syria is setting Israel up for a massive attack by its Scud Ds, Grads, Katys, and Iranian supplied rockets. It is buiding another reactor (clandestine), which, if attacked by anyone, would then allow for the attack. It is also telling the EU and UN, that its domestic slaughter of its own people, must not be interfered with. Is a Syrian problem only (the fact that NATO has defeated Moammar is irrelevant). As has been noted, Syria is like the dept store at the end of the mall, it is the flagship country for attacking Israel. If attacked, Hamas/Hez/Islamic Jihad/ Fatah, the PLOs militant wings..will join in, launching at least 200 rockets/day. They have over 150,000 rockets of all kinds and admit to same. Turkey might send a few divisions to Syrias border with Israel, and Iran can be expected to assist. However my opinion is that until Iran has tested its nukes..there will NOT be this type of confronation. With nukes, everything changes..Israel losing its edge. Both Lebanon/Syria in effect, launched wars against Israel when they promoted and allowed the Pals to probe Israel's borders...Every rocket fired by Hamas is an act of war. Israel has chosen to refrain from using its awesome might...saving its missiles, bunker busters, and 500 nuke warheads (tactical/strategic) for a massive Arab attack. Time is not on anyones side in this conflict folks. Calling up 2 divisions is okay..sends a message to Assad and Hezbollah. But Israel needs to send a stronger message.."Dont tread on me".

I admire the Israeli's for their focus on the enemy .The Israeli's are not a laid back people and are ALWAYS ready to confront the evil enemy with full force . Shalom my brothers and G-d protect you at all times ! Be well and be safe...

God be with you.

But there is good news. The ELS Scripture code matrix for "EMP Attack" says it will happen in 5771 and that has passed if HaShem used the Babylonian Jewish Calendar which He did for another matrix on the death of Al Alwaki which the code says happens in 5772. That can only be the Babylonian Jewish calendar. So it is possible an EMP attack has been averted somewhere in the world, probably America which would be sad for Israel to lose its great friend. Why is HaShem averting or ameliorating prophecies like Psalms 109 for the year 2009 which was the death of President Obama that did not happen? President Obama recently said he believes Jesus is the Lord. He has converted from Islam to Christianity. That is a first step. Now he needs to say Yeshua is Yahweh and believe it and there will be no end to the wonders HaShem can perform for a ruler who is in His camp.

If Turkey will dare to send few division tgo assist Syria, Israel will kill them all even before arriving to the Syrian border. Sadam Hussain sent an armyt to assist Syria, what hapened? All the Iraqis were killed before reaching the border.Let the Turkish try.

Where in the Torah does it say that "Yeshua is Yahweh"?

After 10 minutes in the field the dust from the tanks gets on them those uniforms blend in just fine.
