The air forces of Israel and the United Arab Emirates will take part in a joint military drill in Greece, revealed military sources in Tel Aviv.

This marks the first time that the UAE openly announces its participation with Israel in a military exercise.

The exercise in Greece will also include air forces from the United States, Canada, Slovakia, Spain and Cyprus.
