IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi held an assessment with United States CENTCOM chief Gen. Michael Kurilla, who arrived in Israel yesterday for his second trip this week.
The IDF says the meeting focused on “security and strategic issues, as well as joint preparations in the region, as part of the response to threats in the Middle East.”
Kurilla also visited the Israeli Air Force’s underground command center at the IDF headquarters, to hold an assessment with IAF chief Maj. Gen. Tomer Bar.
Kurilla’s visit to Israel comes as the country anticipates Iranian and Hezbollah attacks on the country.
