Dozens of Greek soldiers participated in a special joint military exercise with IDF Kfir Brigade troops at a base in southern Israel this week, following a series of Israeli-Greek air and naval drills in recent weeks. The exercise comes amid growing tensions with Turkey, which recently announced a new maritime route to Libya. Israel, Greece, and Cyprus have opposed the move, with the joint military training also intended to send a message to Ankara about their strengthening security cooperation.
