United States CENTCOM chief Gen. Michael Kurilla was in Israel over the weekend, amid the hostage rescue operation in the Gaza Strip.
The IDF says Kurilla was hosted by Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi, and the pair held an assessment and discussed “recent regional challenges, and the strengthening of the strategic partnership in the region against the Iranian threat and Iran’s proxies in the region.”
“The developments on the northern border and the war in Gaza were also discussed,” the military adds.
