Military aircraft drill over Jerusalem for Memorial Day flyby
Emanuel (Mannie) Fabian is The Times of Israel's military correspondent
The military aircraft Jerusalemites are hearing flying thunderously today above the capital are part of drills for a Memorial Day flyby later this week.
The IDF said in a statement last night that Israeli Air Force jets and helicopters will be training between Sunday and Tuesday for the flyby, and that this is not connected to any security-related incident.
The military asks the public to avoid flying drones over Mount Herzl, Har Tayyasim, and the President’s Residence “for safety reasons, and in order not to interfere with the training.”
