The threats facing Israel are real and growing, as Iran continues to arm terrorist proxies across the region with increasingly sophisticated weapons.
This month, we saw the latest example of how a strong U.S.-Israel relationship helps keep our ally safe.
In a joint air defense exercise named Juniper Falcon, American and Israeli soldiers trained together to improve preparedness to jointly defend against threats such as ballistic missile attacks.
What the IDF said: “The exercise simulates various scenarios in which Israel is threatened with attack from ballistic missiles and other air threats. It aims to strengthen coordination and mutual learning between the two armies.”
The big picture: A strong U.S.-Israel relationship not only helps keep our ally safe, but also helps protect our troops from shared threats.
