The public is requested to be patient,” the Border Police said in a statement.Members of the public have also been asked by the Border Police to “remain vigilant and to report any unusual incident to the Israel Police.”A special emphasis will be placed on technological aides for emergency forces during the drill, which will be monitored by Border Police head Cmdr.
