United States CENTCOM chief Gen. Michael Kurilla, who arrived in Israel earlier this week, held an assessment with IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi on Friday, the Israeli military says.

The IDF says the assessment focused on “security-strategic issues as part of the response to threats in the Middle East, with an emphasis on the northern front and Iran.”

The two discussed “the latest operational events and possible scenarios on the northern front, to ensure joint readiness for any development,” the military adds.
