First visit by a senior US military official to Israel since the aggression against Iran

US Central Command (CENTCOM) Commander General Michael Kurilla made his first public visit to Israel since its aggression against Iran, during which he assessed the results of the war with Israeli military officials.

The Israeli army said in a statement received by Anadolu Agency on Thursday: "Yesterday (Wednesday), Commander of the US Central Command, General Michael Kurilla, visited the Israeli army as a guest of the Chief of Staff, General Eyal Zamir."

The statement added: "During the visit, General Kurilla participated in a joint working forum with the Chief of Staff and senior army commanders, during which the achievements of Operation Rising Lion (the aggression against Iran) were presented, as well as the situation on the near and distant fronts."

He continued: "After that, (Korella) visited the Air Force headquarters, accompanied by the Commander of the (Israeli) Air Force and other commanders."

The statement indicated that the Israeli army thanked the US army for its "strategic coordination" during the war on Iran.

Israeli and American officials have pointed to the close cooperation between the two countries during the 12-day aggression against Iran.

On June 13, Israel, with US support, launched a 12-day aggression against Iran, targeting military and nuclear sites, civilian facilities, and the assassination of military leaders and nuclear scientists. Iran responded by targeting Israeli military and intelligence headquarters with ballistic missiles and drones.

On June 22, the United States attacked Iran's nuclear facilities and claimed to have "eliminated" them. Tehran responded by bombing the U.S. Al-Udeid base in Qatar. Washington then declared a ceasefire between Tel Aviv and Tehran on June 24.

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Dan Keane said at a press conference at the time that the operation against Iran's nuclear facilities, codenamed "Midnight Hammer," was carried out under the command of General Kurilla.
