Palestinian resistance group Hamas launched a military drill in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday to raise "combat readiness".
"We announce the start of Al-Quds Shield maneuvers that simulate different scenarios," the group's armed wing, the Qassam Brigades, said in a statement.
The group said the training is "part of a series of continuous military exercises to simulate various forms of combat operations."
The last confrontation between Palestinian resistance factions in Gaza and Israel took place in May, during which more than 230 Palestinians were killed and thousands injured, in the worst wave of violence in years. Thirteen Israelis were also killed in Palestinian rocket fires from Gaza.
