Video footage shows a significant buildup of U.S. Air Force aerial refueling tankers on the ground at Ben Gurion International Airport in Tel Aviv. The visible aircraft include KC-46 Pegasus and KC-135 Stratotanker models, creating a scene described as "overflowing." Local sources report that a similar concentration of tankers was observed on the eve of the first US and Israeli strike in the current war, raising questions about potential new offensive preparations. The sustained presence of these critical support assets underscores the continued high operational tempo for US forces in the region.
