The Israeli newspaper, The Jerusalem Post, said that huge cargo planes belonging to the UAE Air Force landed in Israel several times during the past two weeks.

The newspaper said that the reason for these flights is not yet clear, but it is suspected that they are transporting security and military equipment under a joint defense agreement signed by the two sides recently.

According to the newspaper, during the past two weeks, eight C-17 Globemaster heavy cargo planes have landed, all of which belong to the UAE Air Force.

The planes landed at Israel's Nevatim military airfield in the Negev desert, and each took off an hour after landing.

The newspaper pointed out that the official in charge of military and security exports in the Israeli Ministry of Defense announced at the beginning of this April that the value of Israeli military exports amounted to 11.2 billion dollars last year, and that 7% of them were to Arab countries that signed normalization agreements with Israel under the name Abraham Accords.

The UAE and Bahrain signed normalization agreements with Israel at the White House on September 15, 2020, then Sudan and Morocco joined them with similar agreements.
