During the one day military exercise, Palestinan groups unveiled some of the their military capabilities and equipment

The drill consisted of simulation of ground and air military operations during which several rockets were fired toward the sea. 

Since 2008, Israel has waged three wars against Gaza, where two million Palestinians live under a 12-year Israeli blockade from air, sea, and land. Thousands of Gazans have been killed in each of these deadly wars.

The Palestinian resistance groups say they held the drills to show their military capabilities as well as unity in fight against the Israeli aggression.
