The military claims the U.S. will increase the deployment of refueling aircraft to Israeli air force bases.
On the 18th local time, the Israeli military reported that dozens of aerial refueling aircraft that the United States is about to send to Israel will land and be deployed at Israeli Air Force bases, rather than at Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion International Airport.
The Israeli military stated that this move aims to minimize the impact on civil aviation transport as much as possible. Previously, the Israeli Ministry of Transportation had limited the number of U.S. refueling aircraft parked at Ben Gurion International Airport to 20, in order to alleviate disruptions to civil aviation flights during the peak summer travel season.
According to reports, the Israeli military stated that the decision to deploy the refueling aircraft to Israeli Air Force bases was made by the United States and coordinated with the Israeli military, so that the Israeli Air Force could make the necessary preparations in advance.
