Israel is preparing to receive additional U.S. refuelling aircraft as attacks between the United States and Iran have intensified following the collapse of an interim ceasefire deal. An Israeli military official stated the U.S. “decided to adjust its force posture in the region” and reinforce its existing fleet in Israel. Dozens more U.S. refuelling planes are expected to arrive, with some to be stationed at Israeli Air Force bases and commercial airports to minimize disruption to civilian air traffic. As of June 25, there were 98 U.S. military planes in Israel, and the increased U.S. military presence had previously limited activity at Ben Gurion Airport.
