Israeli defense officials say the country's air force has completed a large-scale exercise simulating war on several fronts with enemies that include Iran.

(And let us remember that Israel has, though won't admit to having, nuclear weapons for just such an occasion.)
The maneuver lasted four days and ended Thursday. The military said the exercise was a routine part of its annual training program.
