According to the IDF Spokesperson's statement, as part of the training plans for reserve battalions on the northern front in recent months, soldiers from the Northern Paratroopers Brigade (226), which is part of the designed "HaMapatz" (146) and combat engineering forces, practiced in densely populated neighborhoods and built-up areas in northern terrain, under winter weather conditions and in a northern sector layout.

Over 100 days of training

In the exercises conducted, the soldiers trained from the squad level to the battalion combat teams, incorporating tanks, infantry soldiers, engineers, and artillery. So far, the National Ground Training Center has conducted over 100 days of training, including more than 40 battalion-level exercises and over 100 platoon-level exercises.
