Foreign Militaries Embed with IDF for War Lessons.
Israel hosted about 130 officials from militaries including the US, Canada, Britain, France, Germany, India, Morocco, and others to share techniques from the 2023-2025 Middle East war. Activities included lectures, war games with drones, tanks, and gunfire, and base visits showcasing artillery, virtual reality battle simulations, and urban counter-terror tactics. Interests ranged from acquiring Israeli tech like advanced VR glasses for scenario planning to adapting micro-level air-land coordination for large-scale warfare, such as potential Russian threats. Discussions touched on asymmetric urban challenges, civilian casualty concerns (noting Gaza's high toll as hard to justify despite human shields), and cooperation with UNIFIL and Gaza's new International Stabilization Force, with hopes of building sympathy for Israel's ethical constraints and boosting future partnerships.
