"Sky Angels", the largest international rescue exercise to be held in Israel to date, started on Sunday and will run through Thursday. It will simulate first-of-their-kind rescue scenarios and cause significant air traffic over central and southern Israel.
Also running through Thursday is the "Blue and White Flag" (Degel Cachol Velavan in Hebrew) exercise, a wide-scale exercise of the Israeli Air Force, which will simulate aerial activity facing advanced threats in order to preserve the IAF’s aerial superiority and freedom of movement. During this exercise, significant air traffic will be noticed over southern Israel.
