The drills are expected to simulate strikes deep into enemy territory, the Israel Air Force said in a statement.

The deployment by the US Air Force Central Command (AFCENT) is temporary, the air force said. It comes as part of the agile combat employment (ACE) doctrine in which American aircrdaft are dispersed among allied nations around the world.

It is not yet clear how long the AFCENT aircraft will be stationed at Nevatim.
