The Israeli Navy simulated different scenarios alongside the foreign fleets including naval defense, anti-submarine procedures, search and rescue scenarios, and providing medical aid at sea, the IDF says in a statement.
The military says the exercise’s goal is “to strengthen cooperation between the navies involved, strengthen a common operational language, and deepen shared operational knowledge,” adding that it is ” is another significant pillar of operational cooperation in the Middle East with the United States and other foreign navies.”
