Israeli Army: American Refueling Planes to Land at Military Bases

SadaNews Translation - The Israeli army confirmed on Saturday morning that American refueling planes will land in Israel within the coming hours and days.

The Israeli army explained in a statement, as translated by SadaNews, that these planes will land at air force bases instead of Ben Gurion Airport to minimize the impact on civil transportation routes.

It clarified that the American decision was coordinated with the Israeli army to increase the number of American refueling planes in Israel instead of reducing them as previously expected.

The Israeli army affirmed its utmost efforts to facilitate the deployment of American refueling planes while maintaining Israel's international transportation needs.

Israeli Transport Minister Miri Regev had decided to evacuate Ben Gurion Airport from refueling planes, which raised the ire of the Americans who expressed their anger at the move at that time.
