Israeli ships conduct live-fire drill in Aegean Sea

Israeli warships have conducted a live-ammunition exercise for the first time in the Aegean Sea, Yorgo Kırbaki of daily Hürriyet reported today.
Two Israeli warships, one a Sa'ar 5 and the other a Sa'ar 4.5, conducted firing exercises with live ammunition south of Hydra island within Greek national waters.
The Greek Navy did not take part in the drill, in compliance with a moratorium it signed with Turkey. The exercise took place near the Karavia rocks off the eastern coast of the Peloponnese Peninsula, quite far from the Turkish maritime border.
