The United States is moving aerial refueling aircraft from Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar to Ovda Air Base in Israel, according to a report by Abu Ali Express. The relocation is intended to reduce the risk of the aircraft being hit in the event of escalation in the region.
The report comes hours after The Zioneer reported that some US fighter jets are expected to land at bases in Israel, part of a broader reinforcement of American air power in the region. Over the past weeks, The Zioneer has also reported on the US transferring six refueling tankers to the UAE in June and deploying approximately six additional refueling aircraft across Israel overnight in July.
The US has been adjusting its military posture in the Middle East amid heightened tensions with Iran, with multiple reports of aircraft and naval assets being repositioned to and from bases in the Gulf and Israel.
