US-Israeli 15-Day Air Defense Exercise Starting Wednesday
US-Israel air drills to prompt some road closures in coming weeks
Published October 19, 2009, 21:49 [
Bethlehem - Ma’an -
Israel and the United States will carry out a 15-day air defense
exercise starting Wednesday, which will likely result in some road
closures, Israeli military officials announced.
The activity is
reportedly the fifth such drill, which military sources said is run
every two years, “in accordance with long-standing bilateral agreements,
[with] the United States European Command.”
A statement from the
Israeli military said the “exercises are planned in advance and are part
of a routine training cycle designed to improve the interoperability of
both air defense systems.”
The exercise will involve more than
2,000 American and Israeli personnel.
“Small numbers of US
forces from US Army Europe (USAREUR) will be temporarily deployed to a
number of locations in Israel in the vicinity of civilian areas,” the
military statement noted. “Troop Movements and other activities may be
observed and a number of roads may be closed for short periods of time.”
