Default Why is Israel buying so many 2 seat aircraft?

In the last few years Israel has bought 2 seat versions of the F-15 and
F-16. It appears to me that this represents a significant shift towards
2 seaters on the part of Israel. Is my impression of a shift in
inventory towards 2 seaters correct, and if so, what is the motive?

The F-15I is the Israeli version of the Beagle, ang a two
seater strake aircraft by design.
IIRC, he two seat F-16s are tasked with SEAD, which the
Israelis see as requiring two crew.
