The U.S. has bolstered its combat units in CENTCOM as the Israel-Hamas war threatens to spark a larger conflict.
The drone strikes have continued as the region has been roiled by factional violence in recent months and amid heightened attacks and tensions caused by the Israel-Hamas war.
The Air Force announced the arrival of additional F-16s in the Middle East to deter further aggression in the region.
Among them could be a 3D-printed, $2,500 drone called the Kestrel.
Air Force three-star says U.S. moves in the region have also deterred Iran and ISIS.
