Units from the Saudi Armed Forces are participating in the multinational EFES-2024 military exercise in Izmir, Republic of Türkiye along with other brotherly and friendly countries.
The Saudi military units participating in the exercise arrived in Türkiye and were welcomed by high-ranking army officers, SPA reported.
Head of the Armed Forces Training and Development Authority, Maj. Gen. Adel Al-Balawi, underscored that the participation of Saudi military units in EFES-2024 comes within the support and keenness of the Kingdom's leadership to enhance the capabilities of the Saudi Armed Forces.

He said the exercise aims to exchange expertise, train on planning and coordinating joint operations in a different operational environment, raise the combat efficiency of the participating units, and enhance military cooperation between the participating countries.
He also said that the military units will carry out land and sea Special Forces operations using various modern weapons.

Kuwait's foreign ministry issued on Sunday a circular indicating that it had listed eight hospitals in Lebanon as part of regulations related to "combating terrorism.”

Lebanon's health ministry expressed surprise and said it would seek clarification.

It said it received the Kuwaiti statement "with great surprise", adding it had not been provided with "any information or notification from any Kuwaiti entity about this matter.”

"The hospitals mentioned in the statement are registered with the syndicate of private hospitals in Lebanon and carry out their role in providing treatment and health services to all Lebanese without exception," the ministry statement said.

It called the facilities "an essential part of the Lebanese health system,” and said it would contact the relevant authorities to request clarification and "protect Lebanon's health system.”

It noted that "Kuwait has numerous joint projects with the ministry... and has been among the most prominent countries that have stood by the health system during the successive crises that Lebanon has faced.”

The latest move was "unprecedented and inconsistent" with the Gulf country's usual approach, it added.
