U.S. Troops in Israel for Missile Defense Drill
(Jerusalem Post) Anna Ahronheim - U.S. troops are in Israel and have deployed anti-missile defense systems across the country ahead of the biennial Juniper Cobra military exercise. The five-day drill will simulate a massive missile attack on Israel from both the northern and southern fronts and will be led by the Israel Air Force in a joint exercise with the U.S. Army European Command (EUCOM). Washington and Israel have signed an agreement which would see the U.S. assist Israel with missile defense in times of war.
