We were stopped on the road leading from Tsada to Kallepia this lunchtime. There were lots of fully armed foot soldiers heading across the road into Tsada village.

Not as yet seen any jets apart from the usual civil stuff, also several helicopters flying over at all hours, but at 6am yesterday about a hundred or so soldiers heavily armed strolled past our front gates...in two time of course.

Looks like Iran is the the focus for this training, below is from the local press.
Thanking the Cypriots, Gantz said the exercise in the island nation proved the "depth of the strategic alliance" between the two countries.
"We are talking about the culmination of one of the biggest and most widespread exercises ever done all these years."
Defense Secretary Benny Gantz warned, "The Israeli army is constantly preparing for operations and various campaigns, in various theaters, and will deal a severe blow to anyone who wants to threaten the citizens of the State of Israel."
Last year, Kohavi announced during a speech at a conference of the National Security Studies Institute in Tel Aviv that he had instructed the military to begin preparing renewed plans for a strike on Iran's nuclear program.
"Iran can decide that it wants to carry out a bomb, either covertly or in a provocative manner. In the light of this basic analysis, I have ordered the Israeli Army to prepare a number of operational plans, in addition to the existing ones. "We are studying these plans and will develop them next year," Kohavi said. "It's up to the government, of course, to decide if they should be used. "But these plans must be on the table, exist and be trained."

I think one of the helicopters landed on our roof about midnight last night.

Yes, one came very low over my house last night, late.
