Israeli and American troops train together through "Juniper Cobra" exercise in Israel. Over 5,000 Israeli and American troops are undergoing training together in Israel. Brig. Gen. Zvika Haimovich, chief of Israel's air defence command, said that, Juniper Cobra is not focused on any particular adversary. It is aimed to train for very complex scenarios like simultaneous attacks from enemy countries and militant groups. Israel faces potential threat from Lebanese militant group Hezbollah and Iranian forces. Juniper Cobra comprises field training, computer simulations and live-fire drills of sophisticated missile-defence systems.
