Local Editor

In a new confirmation of the strong US- "Israeli" alliance, the US military participated Sunday in a large drill simulating a multi-front missile attack on the Zionist entity.

According to the "Israeli" Channel 2, the drill simulated a war with Gaza, Lebanon, Syria and Iran.

During the exercise, about 1,000 American soldiers stationed in the Zionist entity joined more than 4,000 "Israelis", to practice the so-called "protection of "Israel""" in a series of scenarios that simulate the firing of rockets and missiles from several arenas simultaneously: Gaza , Lebanon, Syria and Iran.
The exercise reportedly tested various scenarios, including one in which the US sent Patriot missiles to "Israel" and some Aegis-type ships, which carry rockets and other war systems against ballistic missiles, meant to assist "Israel".

The drill also rehearsed particularly complex scenarios in which missiles and rockets are fired in large quantities from many different arenas.
"Israel" is rehearsing the use of its Arrow missiles, as well as Patriots, the Iron Dome and Magic Wand systems - the last of which is still in development. At the same time as the exercise in "Israel", hundreds of American troops are practicing a similar exercise in Jordan
The exercise began shortly after the arrival of US War Secretary Chuck Hagel in "Israel".

According to an official statement from the European Command, planning for Juniper Cobra began 18 months ago, and has nothing to do with any specific tensions in the region.
The statement added that the purpose of Juniper Cobra, which has been held every two years since 2001, is to test both armies' joint ability to respond to missile attacks. "Israeli" Air Force and military establishment officials said they saw Juniper.

Cobra as an opportunity to improve preparedness and coordination with the United States.
Meanwhile, Wella Hebrew news confirmed "the lack of readiness of the so-called " internal front " in the Zionist entity, in the event of a new war in the North , with Hizbullah or Syria."

It further noted that the Home Front of the Zionist entity recently boasted the readiness and development of the "Israeli" local authorities to the war.

However, the "Israeli" security officers and leaders believe that the opposite is true.

A poll showed that "one-third of the security officers believe that the "Israeli" home front is not ready for emergencies."
According to the head of the "Union of the Security Officers in the Settlements", the results revealed by the survey are serious and disturbing.
