A large number of US military aircraft, including refueling planes, have been deployed at Israel’s Ben Gurion and Ramon airports, causing disruptions to civilian air traffic and airport capacity. The deployment has been described as unprecedented, according to Israel’s public broadcaster Kan, which reported that the presence of these aircraft is affecting normal aviation operations.

Kan’s report further noted that the US aircraft remain stationed in Israel even during the current ceasefire with Iran. The broadcaster added that under the present circumstances, these aircraft are not expected to leave Israel soon. The report cited Al Jazeera as the source of this information.

The continued presence of US military assets at Israeli airports highlights the close military coordination between the two countries and its impact on civilian infrastructure, though no official statement on the duration or purpose of the deployment has been provided.
