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

The IDF says the “strategic” meeting focused on the “regional situational assessment and examined courses of action to address threats and developments in the Middle East.”

“The two discussed a variety of possible scenarios on both near and distant fronts, emphasizing the strengthening of operational cooperation and enhancing readiness for any scenario,” the military adds.
