Juniper Cobra is a five-day combined military exercise between Israel and the United States EUCOM intended to strengthen military cooperation against regional threats and to promote long-term security. In the past several years it has also been used to train for scenarios involving a ballistic missile attack from Iran.
The last Juniper Cobra exercise was conducted in February 2016.
