Israel is preparing to receive additional U.S. aerial refuelling aircraft as tensions between the United States and Iran intensify. Multiple outlets report that an Israeli military official says the United States has decided to “adjust its force posture in the region” and reinforce the aerial refuelling fleet already stationed in Israel with more aircraft. The move comes after an interim ceasefire agreement, reached about a month earlier, collapses and fighting escalates over the preceding week. The reporting also says the increased strikes raise the risk of a wider conflict. One account adds that Israel does not participate in the latest U.S. attacks. Since the conflict escalates, the U.S. has stationed dozens of refuelling aircraft in Israel, and sources cited in the coverage indicate that dozens more are expected to arrive. The U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem is reported as not immediately available for comment. The overall picture across the articles centers on U.S. reinforcement of Israel-based aerial refuelling capacity rather than direct changes to Israel’s participation in U.S.-led strikes.
