Iranian soldiers used effigies of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump for target practice during training exercises, in photos published over the weekend by the semi-official Iranian Tasnim state news agency, according to the Algemeiner.
Many of the effigies photographed had been riddled with bullets.

The soldiers' training included marksmanship at 100 and 200 meters, as well as sniper training and night shooting.
