According to the images, 25 US aerial refuelling aircraft are currently stationed at Ramon Airbase in the Negev Desert, while another four are at Ovda (Uvda) Airbase in southern Israel. An additional 18 aircraft are located at Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv.

Earlier, The Times of Israel reported that more than 10 US Air Force military transport aircraft had landed at Israeli air bases over the past week.

Most of these flights originated from Biggs Army Airfield in El Paso, Texas, which hosts the US Army's 69th Air Defense Artillery Brigade, equipped with Patriot air defence systems and THAAD missile defence systems. The aircraft were bound for Israel's Nevatim and Ovda air bases.

In recent days, US military aircraft have also conducted a number of cargo flights to other American bases across the Middle East, including facilities in Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Kuwait.

According to the publication, the contents of the transported cargo remain unknown. However, the shipments are believed to be connected to US efforts to strengthen air defence capabilities in the region amid the possibility of a new phase of confrontation with Iran.
