Israel, Greece conduct joint naval exercise for operational scenarios, sinking hostile ships
The exercise, attended by the commanders of both countries' navies, highlights the growing military cooperation between Jerusalem and Athens and could also be interpreted as a signal to Ankara.
Israel and Greece have carried out a joint naval exercise in the Mediterranean Sea, with the aim of practicing a variety of operational scenarios, including sinking enemy vessels using missile fire. The drill, which was led by Israeli Navy Commander Vice Adm. Eyal Harel and his Greek counterpart, Vice Adm. Dimitrios-Eleftherios Kataras, involved a range of participating units from both navies.
The exercise highlights the growing military cooperation between the two countries and could be seen as a signal to Turkey of their ability to operate together at sea. The ongoing rivalry between Greece and Turkey in the eastern Mediterranean, including disputes over maritime boundaries and territorial rights, provides context to the exercise, which underscores the military capabilities and defense ties of Israel and Greece.
