IDF halts major air defense drill with US as coronavirus restrictions intensify
(Worthy News) – The Israel Defense Forces called off a major air defense exercise with the United States on Wednesday night, a day after it launched, following stricter safety restrictions issued by the Health Ministry aimed at curbing the spread of the coronavirus.
The biennial Juniper Cobra exercise — one of the IDF’s largest international drills — was scheduled to be held over the course of 10 days, with thousands of American and Israeli soldiers taking part around the world.
On Wednesday night, the military announced it was halting the exercise with the US European Command (EUCOM), apparently as many of the American troops taking part in it came from Germany, which earlier in the day was added to the Health Ministry’s list of countries from which visitors are not allowed to enter Israel and returning Israeli are required to enter a 14-day self-quarantine.
