Greek Cypriot daily newspaper Simerini wrote in an article under the headline “Cyprus is the training base of Israelis” that the intended thing is to facilitate coordination between the two countries and become the Greek Cypriot side’s regular exercise base for Israel Air Forces and at the same time establish a permanent facility for Israeli Air Forces aircraft to make practice as much as they require.
The newspaper also wrote that the Israeli Air Forces held two military exercises in South Cyprus in 2015 and the target is to hold more military exercises in 2016 and to strengthen the cooperation between the two countries.
