by Eric on November 11, 2009

Jordan and Israel, who have the best relationship of any other Israeli friends in the Middle East, which would be Egypt, sort of, conducted a joint rescue drill as a simulation for an earthquake and drilling rescue operation.

This annual drill takes place with joint Israeli and Jordanian efforts, but has never been published.

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 ho worked effectively and efficiently alongside their Israeli counterparts, the newspaper said.
