According to a report cited by BlockBeats on July 18 and attributed to China Central Television, the Israeli military said on local time July 18 that dozens of U.S. aerial refueling aircraft set to be sent to Israel will land and be deployed at Israeli air force bases rather than at Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion International Airport. The Israeli side said the arrangement is meant to reduce disruption to civilian air traffic as much as possible. Earlier, Israel's Ministry of Transportation had capped the number of U.S. refueling aircraft parked at Ben Gurion Airport at 20 in an effort to ease interference with civilian flights during the summer travel peak. The report added that, according to the Israeli military, the decision to station the aircraft at Israeli air bases was made by the U.S. side and was coordinated with the Israeli military so the Israeli Air Force could prepare in advance.
