United States CENTCOM chief Gen. Michael Kurilla held an assessment with IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi over the weekend, the Israeli military says.
The IDF says the assessment focused on “security-strategic issues and joint preparations in the region, as part of the response to threats in the Middle East, with an emphasis on Iran.”
Kurilla’s visit comes amid preparations in the IDF for a potential Iranian response to Israel’s retaliatory strikes in Iran on October 26.
The general arrived in Israel on Thursday. During his visit, Kurilla also toured a THAAD missile defense system battery that was deployed by the US in Israel, as part of those preparations.
“The IDF 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,” the IDF adds.
