Purely precautionary.
That is how Israel is describing a nationwide security drill in which even its youngest citizens are being prepared for a worst case scenario. Civilians as well as soldiers are taking part in the country’s biggest home front defence exercise. Rocket fire, large-scale terrorist attacks, chemical strikes – all are being envisaged.
