U.S. Withdraws F-22 Raptors From Israel Following Iran Operation
The U.S. Air Force has begun withdrawing approximately 10–12 F-22 Raptor stealth fighters from Ovda Air Base in southern Israel following the completion of their recent operational deployment linked to military operations involving Iran.

According to the reported deployment details, the aircraft were assigned to the 1st Fighter Wing based at Joint Base Langley–Eustis, Virginia.

The F-22s departed Israel with support from U.S. aerial refueling aircraft before continuing their return flight. On July 10, aircraft observers in the United Kingdom reported the formation arriving at RAF Fairford, where the fighters made a scheduled stop before continuing their journey back to the United States.

The reported redeployment follows the conclusion of the aircraft’s forward deployment in Israel after recent U.S. military operations targeting Iran.
