A German Navy vessel arrived at the Port of Haifa on Thursday evening for a port visit that included a Passing Exercise (PASSEX) with the Israel Navy, the Israel Navy said. The visit is part of ongoing military cooperation between the two navies.
A German Navy frigate made a port visit to the Port of Haifa on Thursday evening, conducting a passing exercise (PASSEX) with an Israel Navy vessel off the coast. The visit builds on an earlier port call by a German frigate earlier on Thursday that included its own joint sail, as The Zioneer reported at 13:02. The expanded cooperation included discussions on deepening naval collaboration, according to the navy. The visit reflects the steady tempo of joint exercises between Israel and Germany, part of a broader pattern of Mediterranean naval partnerships that included a Greek navy chief's visit to Haifa earlier this month.
