With tensions high in the region, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi met with his British counterpart, Chief of the Defense Staff Adm. Sir Antony David Radakin earlier today.

The IDF says the pair “held a situational assessment in which they discussed strategic security issues and cooperation in the region.”

The United Kingdom was among several nations that aided Israel in defending against Iran’s attack on the country in April.
