The Gazook Interior Ministry conducted a surprise drill on Wednesday for Hamas and other security and rescue forces in the strip, using information from the IDF's Home Front Command on seeking shelter in time of attack.
The exercise, which lasted about 12 hours, drilled different scenarios of Israeli attack on the Gazoo Strip, which were based on incidents that took place during the 2014 Operation Protective Edge.
The information and instructions to the civilian population on how to locate the nearest safe space and how to evacuate children to shelters were appropriated from the IDF's Home Front Command's website and from messages it issues to the Israeli public.
| Thank goodness they copied this good Israeli idea. If only they copied others. |
Teachers at educational institutions in the strip drilled evacuating the students from the classrooms to a safe space in an orderly fashion, in line with the Israeli Home Front Command's guidelines.
The exercise also included different scenarios along Gazoo's borders with Egypt and Israel. Large numbers of Gazook police forces were deployed throughout the strip, while Hamas forces drilled scenarios of Israeli attacks, including ground invasion. Rescue forces, meanwhile, drilled the evacuation of maimed.
