US/Israel Militaries Conclude Monumental Joint Exercise
On Thursday, the United States and Israel announced the conclusion of their largest-ever joint military exercises, called Juniper Oak 23. The drills, which began on Monday, involved over 140 aircraft and nearly 8,000 troops from both countries. Despite claims from US officials that the exercises were not aimed at any specific country, the show of force was seen as a provocation by Iranian officials.
