The story covers reports of US military transport aircraft landing at Israeli bases and references to a US air bridge. It coincides with an Israeli official saying the security establishment is preparing for a possible decision by US President Donald Trump on a military campaign against Iran.
Coverage differed in the number of aircraft cited and in sourcing: one outlet focused on eight aircraft and preparations to confront Iran, while two others reported at least 10 aircraft and added details about airbases, the US air bridge and an Israeli official's remarks on a possible Trump decision.
