Israel Air Force aircraft were reportedly amassing at the US military's al Asad Airbase in Iraq, according to a PressTV report on Monday.

According to a source close to Iraqi cleric Muqtada al-Sader's group, various aircraft were seen, including F-15, F-16, F-18, F-22 and KC-10 fighter jets.

The aircraft carried out a week-long exercise during the nighttime hours in preparation for a strike on Iranian air defense systems, radars and other various targets deep within the country, the report said.
