Israel's government approved the acquisition of two new combat squadrons featuring Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II jets and Boeing F-15IA fighters.
The deal forms part of a broader 350 billion shekel military buildup designed to bolster operational readiness over the next decade. This modernization plan focuses on strengthening air superiority and long-range strike capabilities.
The United States is also preparing to deliver the first of several KC-46 refueling tankers to Israel. These acquisitions reinforce the sustained demand for high-end American military hardware amid ongoing regional tensions.
