Jerusalem, 11 November, 2026 (TPS-IL) — Hundreds of Tel Aviv District police officers and Border Police tactical forces completed a large-scale operational exercise near Mandarin Beach, aimed at strengthening real-time readiness against security threats and severe civil unrest.
Supervised directly by Israel Police Commissioner Daniel Levi and commanded by Tel Aviv District Commander Maj. Gen. Haim Sargrof, the drill tested multi-unit coordination under high-stress conditions.
Specialized divisions—including tactical enforcement (YASAM), central investigation (YAMAR), mounted police, and aerial support units—simulated rapid responses to multi-arena public disturbances, sudden emergencies, and hostile counter-terrorism scenarios.
Police officials stated the maneuver is part of an annual training program designed to refine field tactics, streamline command response times, and bolster public safety across the Tel Aviv metropolitan region.
