Reporter's Notebook: The Post embeds with foreign armies visiting the IDF
What do other countries think about Israeli tactics and security challenges?
This week, Israel is hosting a range of around 130 officials from foreign militaries to present some of its lessons and latest warfare techniques from the 2023-2025 Middle East war.
On Tuesday, The Jerusalem Post embedded with the foreign military officials as they heard IDF lectures, witnessed a full-on IDF war games exercise that included explosions, gunfire, drones, tanks, and dozens of soldiers, and visited IDF bases displaying artillery and other long-range firepower techniques both from the frontline and headquarters perspectives.
Among the countries involved are a large contingent of diverse US military officials, as well as contingents from Canada, Britain, France, Germany, India , Morocco, Finland, Greece, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Austria, Estonia, Japan, Romania, Serbia, and Slovenia.
While a condition of the Post’s attendance at the various events was not to reveal the identity or country of the officials, the Post did speak to military officials from several countries, and for some countries, multiple officials from the same country.
There was no single script or reason the officials were here.
