USA TROOPS ARRIVE IN ISRAEL:...
With tensions high on Israel’s northern and southern fronts, USA troops are in Israel and have deployed anti-missile defense systems across the country ahead of the Juniper Cobra military exercise. The large-scale, five-day drill will simulate a massive missile attack on Israel from both fronts and will be led by the Israel Air Force, the IDF confirmed on 4 Feb. 2018. The joint exercise with the USA Army is aimed at strengthening military cooperation against regional threats and promoting long-term security for Israel. While the IDF said the drill, which has occurred every two years since 2001, is part of the training to maintain the readiness of troops, it comes amid a war of words with Hezbollah, which is thought to have an arsenal of between 100,000 and 150,000 missiles. Washington and Israel have signed an agreement which would see the USA come to assist Israel with missile defense in times of war. (J.Post)
