AI Summary:
Germany's military is preparing to launch a test operation which will see it drop information leaflets using helium balloons. The leaflets will be used to practice "tactical direct communication procedures" in the event of an emergency. No further information on the operation has been shared for security reasons. Germany's neighbouring countries have already been informed in advance in case balloons are blown into Poland or the Czech Republic due to weather conditions. The Israeli army's leaflet drops in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon advising evacuations are among most recent examples. Griffiths argues that the Israeli armed forces fulfil their duty to take precautionary measures in the event of attacks with warnings such as leaflets, phone calls, text messages and media announcements. Precise details of the location and time are not absolutely necessary and could be omitted if military reasons or additional risks to civilians argue against this.
