“US army officers have begun arriving in Israel ahead of joint military manoeuvres between the countries’ armed forces, an Israeli newspaper said on Sunday. The officers will supervise the arrival of hundreds of US troops on October 14 for joint manoeuvres that will take place the following week and last for three weeks, according to Yediot Aharonot. The US-Israeli exercises will be the most important yet between the two countries, the paper said. Yediot said Israel’s air defences will be tested on this occasion, including its Hetz missile-to-missile batteries and its ‘Iron Dome’ rocket interception system.”
