The exercise was the largest carried out in the past five years, and intended to drill reservists on their response to terrorist attacks.

Hundreds of active soldiers and reserve troops were faced with a variety of simulated emergencies that included bombings, vehicular ramming attacks, shootings, stabbings, Jewish community infiltrations, mass riots and abductions of Israelis.
