The Galilee Forests facility is under the command of the 91st Territorial Division and designed to prepare the formation’s soldiers for likely combat scenarios if conflict breaks out with the Lebanese group Hizbullah.

“It is a means of training forces for the exact conditions of combat in Lebanon,” the IDF said. “The compound is modelled after a Lebanese village, utilising detailed intelligence and careful analysis of enemy territory. It includes a training area for combat in urban terrain and for combat in underground structures, the capability for live-fire exercises and tactical exercises under the [tree] canopy, a logistics training interface, shooting ranges, explosive training sites, armoured fighting vehicle training capabilities, and training in mountainous terrain.”
