The US Navy teamed with the Israeli Defense Force’s Underwater Missions Unit and the French navy to conduct a late-July two-week underwater exercise called Noble Melinda off the coast of Haifa.

The drills focused on anti-terror and naval sabotage activities, minefield clearing, and included the use of anti-tank weaponry.

​Personnel from the Israeli navy hailed the exercise as a success, and French and US sailors said they had a better understanding of Israeli operations once Noble Melinda was complete.

One Israeli naval officer said, "We are joining our forces to strengthen our cooperation," according to the Algemeiner.
