The Israeli Air Force participated this week in the multinational Iniochos aerial exercise hosted by the Hellenic Air Force in Greece, the IDF said on Friday.

The exercise brought together dozens of aircraft and units from 12 nations—Greece, Israel, France, India, Italy, Montenegro, Poland, Qatar, Slovenia, Spain, the United Arab Emirates and the United States for joint training in complex combat scenarios, including dogfights, air-to-surface strikes, and responses to advanced surface-to-air missile threats.

Israel’s 122nd Squadron, which operates the “Eitam” G550 airborne early warning aircraft, took part in the drills.

According to the IDF, the deployment is part of efforts to strengthen strategic cooperation, improve operational readiness, and expose Israeli aircrews to unfamiliar terrain and evolving aerial threats.

The annual exercise is considered a key component of regional military cooperation between NATO members and close defense partners such as Israel.

“Prioritizing a political agenda over compliance with these requirements risks both federal funding and the public health of New York City residents,” stated Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.).
“I call on the U.N. Security Council to unequivocally condemn Hezbollah and designate the Iranian terror proxy as a terrorist organization,” the Israeli foreign minister stated.
“We call on the Lebanese government to take practical and meaningful measures against Hezbollah, whose representatives still serve as ministers within it,” the Israeli foreign minister said.
Channel 12 report alleges Ziv Agmon made racist remarks about Moroccans and disparaged Likud MKs and the prime minister’s family, prompting calls for his dismissal.

“The world began to fall back into old, hateful trends,” said Sharon Nazarian, president of the Nazarian Family Foundation, a program partner. “Fighting hate is the ultimate goal.”
“Imagine you are at home. You have three children. Which one do you take with you first?” the Israeli envoy told the council. “Do you go back for the others?”
