The IDF Says US Will Deploy Tankers to Israeli Air Force Base

BlockBeats News, July 18th, according to CCTV News, on July 18th local time, the U.S. side will reportedly land and deploy dozens of aerial refueling tankers to an Israeli Air Force base, not Ben Gurion International Airport in Tel Aviv, according to military sources.

The Israeli military stated that this action is aimed at minimizing the impact on civilian air transport. Previously, the Israeli Ministry of Transport had limited the number of U.S. military tankers parked at Ben Gurion International Airport to 20 to alleviate disruptions to civilian flights during the summer air transport peak.

The report indicated that the Israeli military stated that the decision to deploy the tankers to the Israeli Air Force base was made by the U.S. side and coordinated with the Israeli military to allow the Israeli Air Force to make relevant preparations in advance.
