Itay Blumenthal, a reporter for the Israeli "Can" channel, reported that the US had created an extensive military air train to the Middle East in the last day and at the same time as the end of the elections in Israel. According to him, at least 10 US military transport planes landed at Avoda and Nebatim bases in southern Israel. Some of these planes were sent from the Fort Bliss base in Texas, and their mission is expected to be replenishing weapons reserves and transferring defense equipment, including Patriot systems.
