Fighter jets seen and heard over the Jerusalem area are part of IDF preparations for Memorial Day ceremonies.
The military announced last night that it would be carrying out training over the area, warning the public of unusual aircraft movement.
The Israeli Air Force will not be holding its annual Independence Day flyover this year, but four fighter jets will still fly over the Mount Herzl military cemetery and Har Tayyasim as a salute on Memorial Day.
