Israeli broadcaster Channel 13 reported on Monday that dozens of cargo aircraft transported large-scale weapons shipments from US military bases in Germany to Israel within the past 24 hours, fueling speculation that Washington and Tel Aviv are preparing for renewed military action against Tehran.

Israeli broadcaster Channel 13 reported on Monday that large-scale shipments of weapons and ammunition were transported to Israel over the past 24 hours through US military bases in Germany using dozens of cargo aircraft, as the Israeli military maintains high alert status for potential renewed operations against Iran.

Arms transfers through German bases

Dozens of cargo planes arriving from Israel at US bases in Germany were reloaded with ammunition before returning to Israel shortly afterward, Channel 13 reported. The transfers reportedly occurred within a 24-hour window and involved substantial quantities of munitions intended for Israeli military operations, according to the broadcaster.

Speculation over Iran strikes

The Israeli army remains on high alert regarding the possible resumption of attacks on Iran, with military officials setting a timeline for completing operational preparations, the report noted. There is growing belief within the Israeli administration that US President Donald Trump could soon authorize renewed military action against Tehran, though no official confirmation has been issued.

Previous US military support

On April 30, Israel's Defense Ministry announced that two cargo ships and several aircraft carrying 6,500 tons of ammunition and light armored vehicles from the US had arrived in Israel. Media reports this week have also indicated that Washington and Tel Aviv have intensified preparations for potential strikes on Iranian targets.
