US military aircraft land at Israeli air bases amid Iran war preparations

The Jerusalem Post·30 October 2026

Ten US military aircraft from Texas have reportedly landed at the Ovda and Nevatim air bases in Israel, Nevatim being home to several F-35I squadrons, as American officials warn of a "short, focused" war with Iran. The report is based on a single source and does not confirm any decision to strike. If accurate, it shows US forces being positioned inside Israel for possible direct involvement, a material step toward wider regional war that places Israel and Iran at the centre of escalating tension.
