A U.S. Air Force F-35A Lightning II fighter jet, operating from Ovda Air Base in Israel, was briefly tracked with its transponder enabled while flying over Jordan. The aircraft's flight path suggested a potential mission towards Syrian or Iraqi airspace before its transponder was disabled. This activity highlights ongoing U.S. military operations in the region, which have seen a significant buildup of forces in Israel in recent weeks. The specific mission of the stealth fighter remains undisclosed.
