✈️ Extensive aerial refueling enabling long-range Israeli operations: The IDF published footage showing the Israeli Air Force’s 120th Squadron conducting aerial refueling operations during the war with Iran. The military said more than 550 aerial refuelings have been carried out over the Middle East, enabling hundreds of Israeli fighter jets to operate in Iran, more than 1,500 kilometers from Israel.
The IDF said five million pounds of fuel have been transferred during the current conflict, accounting for more than half of the refuelings carried out during June 2025’s 12-day war. It also said the Israeli Air Force has relied heavily on U.S. aerial refueling capabilities, noting the U.S. has roughly ten times Israel’s refueling fleet and that dozens of U.S. refueling tankers have been stationed in Israel during the conflict.
