'Don't test us,' Israeli Prime Minister and Defense Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned as he referenced threats 'from the north, south and east.'
Israel has conducted a massive multi-branch military exercise simulating attacks from foes across its tense, disputed borders as tensions between its top ally, the United States, and arch foe, Iran, approached crisis levels.
"I am concluding a major, multi-corps IDF exercise in several areas. I am very impressed by the improvement in readiness, by the fighting spirit of the soldiers and commanders, and mainly by the destructive power of the IDF," Netanyahu said. Israel's only other immediate neighbor aside from Lebanon and Syria is Jordan, which was the second and last Arab country to make peace with the world's only majority-Jewish state. The first to do so was Egypt, located on the other side of Gaza.
The U.S., which had troops in both Syria and Iraq, also views Iran's regional presence as a threat. President Donald Trump's administration has accused Tehran of seeking to target Washington's interests in the region asWhite House national security adviser John Bolton and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.
