Buddy Stores for Israeli Aircraft

[Big_Zukini]

Q: Does anyone have information about potential buddy stores designed for aircraft Israel is operating or rumors about them?

Context:

1. Its security situation may require long distance trips without risking aerial refueling tankers.
2. I heard about hypothetical stealth drop tanks for F-35, but I wonder how feasible that would be, to drop such tanks over hostile territory (potential for reverse engineering).
3. I also stumbled upon a project for buddy stores for F-15. I don't know how it progressed though.

And please do not involve politics in here. This is a technical question.

The strikes on Iraq long ago was near their limit.

They likely needed facilities is Syria even if they went the buddy stores route this go-around.

I have heard it said that Iran has the finest concrete on the planet btw
