Despite the Ceasefire, Seven Military Cargo Flights Head to Israel

Despite the truce, Misbar’s team observed active military cargo traffic Thursday between U.S. bases in Europe and Israel.

According to the monitored data, at least seven U.S. military cargo flights operated by C-17A aircraft have arrived since the morning hours. Most are believed to have landed in Israel. The aircraft followed a pattern commonly observed in operational conditions, switching off tracking transponders upon entering Israeli airspace and reactivating them after departure.

Most of the aircraft departed from Ramstein Air Base, a U.S. Air Force facility located in Rhineland-Palatinate in southwestern Germany. The base serves as a key hub for U.S. Air Force operations in Europe and Africa and hosts NATO’s Allied Air Command headquarters.

These movements came hours after the U.S. president announced that American forces would continue preparations and deployments in the region in anticipation of a possible resumption of hostilities.

The C-17A Globemaster III is a strategic and tactical airlift platform designed to transport troops and heavy cargo, including tanks and helicopters, with the ability to operate in complex operational environments. Its maximum payload reaches 170,900 pounds, with a range exceeding 6,200 nautical miles, and it is capable of aerial refueling.

Misbar also observed intensive use of this aircraft type by U.S. forces in Middle East operations, coinciding with rising tensions in February.
