Israeli regime's army has held a nighttime parachuting exercise in Negev desert in the southern part of the occupied land.
Reports say about 1,000 paratroopers took part in the Wednesday military drill, but only two-third of them succeeded to jump out of Hercules transport planes.
At least 18 Israeli soldiers sustained injuries and 5 of them were taken to hospital for treatment.
Colonel Eliezer Toledano, the commander of Paratroop Brigade of the army, praised the parachuting exercise.
The Israeli army parachuted small tractors, drones and heavy machine guns as well as ammunitions during the drill.
