The United States has transferred ten transport aircraft to Israel, which landed at Air Force bases in the Negev desert, according to a report by Kan News on Thursday. This delivery is part of a broader airlift operation that also supplied transport planes to other Middle Eastern countries. The arrival of these aircraft follows earlier reports this week that the U.S. had warned Gulf states of a "short and focused war in Iran."
The planes landed at Ovda and Nevatim bases, having departed from Fort Bliss in Texas, a major U.S. military hub for air defense. This suggests a replenishment of air defense systems in Israel, potentially including Patriot missile batteries. Concurrently, U.S. airlift operations included aircraft landing in Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar, reinforcing the context of U.S. warnings to Gulf nations regarding Iran.
An Israeli source told Kan News that "Israel and the U.S. are in close coordination, and although no decision has yet been made, the Americans and Israel are preparing for any decision President Trump might make." Previous reports indicated that the U.S. military had sent a Patriot missile system from Texas to bolster defenses in the Gulf and instructed soldiers in the region to evacuate due to escalation concerns. Additionally, U.S. forces in the region are reportedly restocking their weapons, with an aircraft carrier and an additional Marine unit expected to join approximately 20 warships already operating in the Middle East next month.
