This week, the 228th Reserve Brigade of the Northern Command completed a brigade-level exercise led by the Ground Forces Training Center. 

The troops practiced combat scenarios in Lebanon, including movement in thicketed terrain, advancing along mountainous routes, the activation of fire, evacuating wounded soldiers under fire, and logistical and communications support from headquarters. 

This is the second deployment of the 228th Brigade along the northern border since the start of the war and the unit continues to be a significant part of the IDF's defensive and offensive operations along the western part of the border with Lebanon.
