🇮🇱🇱🇧 Amid the rumors circulating online about the imminent start of an IDF operation in Lebanon, something has gone unnoticed: on June 24, Israel conducted a test of some kind of missile armament, which was barely reported by the local media.
People living near the Palmachim air base captured the launch of a missile from the military facility. But then residents of Malta reported the flight and fall of the missile somewhere in the Mediterranean Sea. The distance was almost 1700-1800 km.
We looked at the available air and sea space reservations and indeed found a restriction on flights and movement in the area east of the island state precisely on those dates.
🔻Given the distance from Israel, the flight of Shavit electronic warfare reconnaissance aircraft (they always fly nearby during missile tests), as well as the lack of media coverage, the Israelis seem to have tested something serious.
Plus, a distance of 1800 km is enough to reach from Tel Aviv to Tehran. And against the backdrop of escalation with Lebanon and statements by the Iranian side about the possible entry into the conflict, such a test looks very symbolic.

🇵🇸 UK has sent 74 war planes from Cyprus to Lebanon since March | Declassified UK
Britain has sent over 80 military transport planes to Lebanon’s capital, Beirut, since the bombing of Gaza began, Declassified can reveal.
All the flights have gone from RAF Akrotiri, Britain’s sprawling air base on Cyprus which has long been a staging post for bombing missions in the Middle East. It sits 150 miles, or 45 minutes flight time, from Beirut.
There has been a steady stream of flights since the Israeli assault on Gaza began in October, but the number rose dramatically in April with 25 flights going from Akrotiri to #Beirut.
May saw the same number of flights, with another 14 so far this month.
