Amid escalating tensions in the Middle East, at least 12 US F-22 fighter jets landed at an Israeli air base on Tuesday, Israel’s public broadcaster KAN reported.
KAN stated, “This afternoon, 12 US F-22 fighter jets landed at an Israeli Air Force base in the southern part of the country. This is part of the American military deployment in the Middle East.”

The report added that these jets are among the most advanced fighter aircraft in the world, possessed only by the United States. Their primary missions include “penetrating enemy territory and disabling air defense systems and radar installations.”
US President Donald Trump has already warned that military action against Tehran could be taken if current nuclear negotiations fail. In response, the United States has increased its military presence in the Persian Gulf region.
This deployment indicates that the US security strategy in the Middle East has entered a more active phase, with heightened monitoring of potentially tense situations.
