U.S. Secretary of War the U.S. Secretary of War met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday at the Ovda Air Force base in southern Israel, according to American media reports. The meeting occurred against the backdrop of discussions between the U.S. and Israel regarding the potential for renewed conflict with Iran and ahead of Israeli elections.

CNN reported that representatives from the United Arab Emirates also attended the meeting at Ovda, a base hosting U.S. refueling and fighter jets. Concurrently, social media in the U.S. featured footage of ten fighter jets, claimed to be from the Israeli Air Force, taking off from Nevatim base. These jets reportedly crossed Syrian airspace into Iraq, conducting drills simulating attack profiles.

These types of sorties have been occurring almost nightly for days, or even longer, according to reports. Their stated purpose is to keep Iranian defense systems on high alert and blur the lines between training exercises and actual operational activity.
