Al-Quds Brigades, the military arm of Palestinian resistance faction Hamas, will conduct two-day-long military exercises in the Gaza Strip entitled The Will of the Honest (Azm Al-Sadiqin), Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported on Sunday.
Various formations within Al-Quds Brigades will participate in the drills, mainly the missile and artillery formations from all over the Gaza Strip, to increase preparedness, test the readiness of the forces, and expand cooperation, our correspondent reported, citing informed sources.
The exercises will also simulate the simultaneous bombing of several targets by the various formations of the factions, Al Mayadeen's correspondent added. The formations will practice how to bomb several geographic locations with barrages of rockets.
Al-Quds Brigades had announced on Saturday that they would be launching wide, large-scale drills in the Gaza Strip in order to up the preparedness of the forces and to lay down the groundwork for any future battle.
The drills "will simulate large-scale field operations with the participation of several military formations," Quds Brigades spokesperson Abu Hamza announced.
The joint operations room of Palestinian Resistance factions had launched the Al-Rukn Al-Shadid 2 joint military exercises in late December.
The drills saw the participation of all the Palestinian resistance factions to achieve greater harmony, unite their concepts, and increase their efficiency.
The military maneuvers in late 2021 came in light of Israeli aggression launched on the Gaza Strip, which killed hundreds of Palestinians, wounded hundreds of others, and destroyed the Strip's infrastructure.
