Israel's military has conducted a drill to prepare for simultaneous combat along its northern frontier with Syria and Lebanon, the ABC News reported.

It said Wednesday the two-week exercise that combined air, ground and naval forces was aimed at "preparing troops for a long-term multi-front conflict."

On the Syrian frontier, Israel has been warily watching as insurgents battle forces loyal to President Bashar Assad. Israel and Syria are bitter enemies but Assad kept the border quiet for decades.
