The US Embassy in Israel renewed its travel warning Saturday evening, advising American citizens to reconsider travel to the Middle East. The warning came as the US military deployed dozens of refueling aircraft to Israel, according to reports, ahead of a possible renewal of fighting. The moves follow a briefing by Israeli sources earlier this evening, as The Zioneer reported at 20:23, in which sources said the US is redeploying dozens of fighter jets and refueling aircraft and is expected to significantly increase strikes in the coming days. The travel warning from the Embassy is the latest in a series of US advisories this week, including a warning for citizens to leave Iraq immediately. The deployment of refueling assets adds to the presence of US tanker aircraft already stationed in Israel, including six tankers deployed overnight earlier this week, as The Zioneer reported. Israeli security assessments indicate that the US is preparing for a major escalation in the region.
