TREE NEWS reports: Ten large US military transport aircraft landed at Ovda and Nevatim air bases in southern Israel on 28 March, delivering air-defense and interceptor missiles to replenish Israeli weapons stockpiles ahead of a possible restart of military operations against Iran. Additional US transport planes also landed at military bases in Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Qatar. The deployments were observed on the evening of 29 March local time.
