US plans major refueling plane buildup in Israel: Report

The Trump administration plans to send dozens of additional military refueling planes to Israel as President Trump considers expanding U.S. operations against Iran, according to Axios. Trump is reviewing military plans that could include strikes on Iranian infrastructure and nuclear facilities, potentially broader than current U.S. actions around the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. currently has about 60 refueling planes in Israel and seeks to deploy several dozen more, primarily at Ben Gurion Airport, to bring numbers back to early war levels. This deployment raises concerns for Israeli Transportation Minister Miri Regev due to potential flight disruptions at Ben Gurion, especially with summer travel, which could impact Netanyahu's coalition. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Iran, stating, "Do not count on it being quiet if you attack us."
