RAF eyes on southern Lebanon and Gaza

Nice catch! I saw a a British refueler and a visible British fighter jet west of Crete and heading towards it. I have seen many military cargo aircraft from many nations going into Israel, including Mexico, Thailand and several EU nations. I see US cargo jets over Israel, on occasion, so it seems there is worldwide support for their effort.

Also, I saw the latest military surveillance jet on radar a couple hours ago near the capital and saw it later flying along the West Bank, up and down in a racetrack pattern.

It will take the Eisenhower a few days to cross the Atlantic. I have read a few Quora posts about how long it takes. They take into consideration the route, which normally isn’t a straight line, as well as going as slow as the slowest strike group vessel, but obviously they can make exceptions. They could do it in three days at a high speed.

I thought it left before Saturday. That was pretty surprising when I heard it left then. Anyways, that’s a lot of firepower on the deck of two carriers.
