1,000 Israeli Soldiers To Arrive in Honduras to Train Troops, Police on Border Protection
Israeli soldiers will be in Honduras to train the country

A multilateral military treaty between Honduras, Israel, and the United States will see the deployment of 1000 Israeli soldiers at Honduras. They will train the Armed Forces of Honduras (FFAA) and National Police (PN).

The main mission of the troops is to train for border protection to stop migrants fleeing Honduras to the U.S., especially children.

This would be the second time that Honduras is allowing foreign military personnel in the territory and the first time in Israel’s history to send troops abroad.

Apart from border protection, fight against drug trafficking, investigation, and counterterrorism will be offered as well.

I'd forgotten all about Moon...thought he died a long time ago. Frustratedlady May 2019 #5

You're right, Moon is gone. He died in September, 2012. Paraguay also expropriated some of his land, Judi Lynn May 2019 #6
