Israel, US holding another joint air drill apparently focused on Iran Exercises simulate strikes on ‘strategic targets in depth’ of enemy territory, include American tankers boosting range of IAF fighter jets
The #Israeli and #American air forces on Sunday launched a joint drill, the latest in a series of exercises apparently aimed at readying the Israel Defense Forces for a potential strike in #Iran.
In a statement Monday, the #IDF said the drill, dubbed Juniper Oak, would include the Israeli #AirForce carrying out #airstrikes against “strategic targets in the depth,” an apparent reference to Iran’s nuclear facilities.
Additionally, the air drills would simulate “achieving aerial superiority in the region and cyber defense against a variety of threats,” the IDF said.
During the drill, #IAF fighter jets were to refuel from an American Boeing KC-46, of which Israel has ordered four and is expected to receive the first in 2025.
