The chief of the Cypriot military, Demokritos Zervakis, begins his first visit to Israel after landing in the country yesterday.
After a ceremonial welcome by Israel Defense Forces chief Aviv Kohavi, the two, and other senior military officials, sat down to discuss “shared security challenges in the Middle East,” the IDF says.
The “strategic-operational meeting” focused on “opportunities to expand cooperation between the two militaries,” according to the IDF.
Zervakis is expected to tour the northern border as well as an Iron Dome air defense system battery during his visit.
