  • An IDF Golani Brigade training exercise was disrupted when approximately 80 cows wandered onto a firing range.
  • Soldiers and authorities worked to corral the cattle, which belonged to residents of nearby Arab villages.
  • The owners are expected to pay fines before the cattle are returned, and they are under investigation by Border Police.

An IDF training exercise involving the Golani Brigade was significantly disrupted on Monday when two herds of approximately 80 cows unexpectedly entered a firing range. The incident forced the immediate halt of the exercise, which was likely using live ammunition.

Israeli security forces, including the Border Police and the Israel Air Force, collaborated with the Israel Nature and Parks Authority to manage the situation. Authorities successfully corralled the stray cattle in the Moshav Dor area, located along Israel's coast north of Caesarea.

Authorities suspect the cattle belong to residents of Muawiya and Ein Ibrahim, villages situated near the Golani Brigade's training base. The owners are currently under investigation by Border Police. Before the cattle can be returned, their owners are expected to pay a fine for allowing the livestock to stray onto a military firing range.
