Tel Aviv: Nine US military transport aircraft loaded with bunker-busting bombs have reportedly landed at an Israeli airbase near Tel Aviv within the last 24 hours, as reported by Israel's public broadcaster on Thursday.

According to Anadolu Agency, the Israeli broadcasting authority KAN stated that the nine US transport planes were carrying bunker-busting bombs along with other defensive weapons and landed at Nevatim Airbase, located in central Israel. The report suggests that this move is potentially in preparation for a possible joint US-Israeli strike, contingent on the outcome of nuclear negotiations between Washington and Tehran.

As of 1805GMT, there has been no official response or comment from the United States regarding the reported delivery of these weapons to Israel. The situation remains closely monitored as developments unfold.
