U.S. to Pull Some Refueling Aircraft Out of Israel
The U.S. military has begun preparations to withdraw part of the refueling aircraft it has stationed in Israel. According to information published Tuesday morning, about 20% of the planes currently deployed at Ben Gurion Airport and other locations are expected to leave.
The move follows understandings reached between Washington and Tehran that are intended to advance a permanent end to the war. In recent months, dozens of American refueling aircraft were positioned at Ben Gurion and at Ramon Airport.
The deployment drew criticism from aviation officials, who said the military activity was harming the airport’s normal operations. Removing some of the aircraft could ease congestion in parking areas, but most of the American refueling fleet is expected to remain in Israel, so the impact on Ben Gurion Airport’s operations is likely to be limited.
