American military aircraft are currently stationed on the western side of Iraq, a situation overseen by the Central Command of the United States (CENTCOM). This deployment is part of ongoing efforts to refuel substantial numbers of the nation’s military planes. The operation does not represent a hostile or cooperative engagement, according to reports from Roster.epa03763617.
Specifically, Israeli F-15I fighter jets were observed practicing aerial refueling with a Boeing 707 (KC135 Stratotanker) aircraft. This demonstration took place during a graduation ceremony for new pilots at the Hatzerim Air Force base near Beersheva, Israel, on June 27, 2013.

The United States continues to utilize these aircraft for refueling, ensuring operational readiness and support across various missions. The focus remains on maintaining the capabilities of its military assets through strategic refueling operations.
