U.S. and Israeli Military Generals Meet To Discuss Operational Plans for Lebanon
by Emmitt Barry, Worthy News Correspondent
(Worthy News) – U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) chief Gen. Michael Kurilla met with Israeli Defense leaders to discuss “threats from Lebanon and Iran”, the Israeli military says.
The visit by the top U.S. military commander in the Middle East took place amid ongoing exchanges of fire between Hezbollah and the Israeli military. Former Israeli war cabinet minister Benny Gantz has warned that war with Hezbollah could be imminent if Israel does not secure a hostage release cease-fire agreement with Hamas in Gaza soon.
Upon arrival, Kurilla met with Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and Israel Defense Forces (IDF) chief of staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi.
Gallant stated that they discussed “the operational and strategic situation in the region” and added that they “reflected on ways to further strengthen interoperability to achieve our common objectives.” He emphasized that Israeli and American troops collaborate closely “to deter common threats posed by Iran and its proxies.”
Later, Kurilla met with IDF’s Northern Command chief Ori Gordin, where the Israeli military stated he was “presented with the IDF’s operational plans for Lebanon.” The IDF further noted that it will “continue to deepen its relationship with the US Armed Forces, due to our commitment to strengthening regional stability and the coordination between the militaries.”
Kurilla is expected to meet with additional senior Israeli security officials on Monday.
