The air force has reestablished a coordination mechanism with Turkey that works to prevent aerial misunderstandings and potential clashes over the Mediterranean Sea.
Once long-time friends and training partners, ties between the IAF and the Turkish Air Force came to an end following Operation Cast Lead in the Gaza Strip in 2009.

Time for a brainstorm.
Common enemies? (Syria, Iran, Iraqi civil war?)

Time for them to perimeter test IAF electronic defenses and give the information to Hezbollah and Iran. In reality all they're really doing is coordinating their FFR signals so that each other's anti aircraft systems don't 'accidentally' fire on one another. I suspect though this is simply a cover for them to try to exploit one another. The Turks want to barter that intelligence and the IAF wants to muddy the waters to see who uses it.
