Israel, Jordan complete joint drill – UPI.com
(In my opinion this story put out by army radio is complete disinformation. Last night, literally hundreds of flights of military transports, Hercules and Sikorskys flew SE towards Jordan. In addition, military jets were flying all night non-stop. I’m guessing Jordan is helping Israel stage the attack against Iran and this “cover story” of a joint “earthquake exercise” is absurd on its face. Just the cost of the fuel spent last night by Israel could be over a million dollars.)
JERUSALEM, Nov. 10 (UPI) — Israeli and Jordanian military forces concluded a joint one-day exercise simulating an earthquake and drilling rescue and emergency procedures, officials said.
The drill was kept under wraps until its conclusion Monday, Yedioth Aharonoth said Tuesday.
The newspaper said it is the first time the Israeli army has published details of the drill even though it is an annual event between the two countries.
The forces from Israel’s Home Front Command and their Jordanian counterparts operated side by side in the Beit Shean area rescuing victims of a simulated earthquake zone, and searching underneath rubble, officials said.
An unnamed Israeli army official praised the Jordanian soldiers who worked effectively and efficiently alongside their Israeli counterparts, the newspaper said.
The joint drill took place the same day Jordan’s King Abdullah II warned the lack of progress in peace talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority could plunge the region into an abyss.
