An Israeli Air Force Boeing 707-300 aerial refueling aircraft flew into southern Syria today with its transponders turned on, according to EGYOSINT on X. The flight occurred prior to the current reporting window from 6:45:30 PM to 8:45:42 PM UTC on February 15, 2026. EGYOSINT noted that the Israeli Air Force took out Syria’s entire surface-to-air missile network within weeks of the Assad regime’s collapse. No additional details on the purpose or timing of today's flight were provided in the source during this two-hour period. This development follows earlier reports of a government drone strike in Suwayda that killed two Hijri National Guard fighters, as stated by QalaatAlMudiq, and Hasakeh tribes' demands for Damascus to deploy forces against the SDF, per Charles Lister.
