WEST BANK (Dispatches) – The Zionist regime’s army has begun constructing a facility that resembles a Lebanese village, where Zionist troops would get training for a possible future war with Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement.
Israeli media quoted a military statement as saying that the "Snir” training facility is being built in the occupied Golan Heights.
The center will have multiple entry points, a mock Hezbollah command and control headquarters, residential buildings, mosques, and public buildings.
It will be large enough to accommodate tanks and allow the use of live ammunition.
Zionist Brigadier General Einav Shalev said the facility is meant to prepare Zionist troops for urban warfare, including subterranean combat.
Meanwhile, a senior army official, who was speaking on condition of anonymity, said the army plans to have the center ready for use by the end of next year and construct three similar facilities in the coming years.
"[Snir] is a Lebanese village, showing the Lebanese challenge, which is growing greater...  In the village, there are people acting as enemy fighters, who are very close to the types of threats that we expect from Hezbollah in the next round,” the official said.
The occupying regime has previously built a similar facility called "Mali” at an army base in Tze’elim to simulate urban combat against Gaza-based Hamas resistance movement.
The Snir center will be built by the German construction engineering company M+W Group, which had also built the Mali facility.
