A Gulfstream G550 Nachshon Oron (registration 452) operated by the Israeli Air Force was tracked today executing an extensive airborne surveillance mission off the coast of central Israel and the Gaza Strip. The aircraft, specialized in airborne early warning and intelligence gathering, is a key component of Israel’s strategic reconnaissance capability.
According to flight tracking data, the G550 Oron took off and began a pattern of racetrack orbits off the Israeli coast, particularly concentrating its activity off the shores of Ashdod and Tel Aviv, and later shifting south toward the vicinity of Gaza. These flight paths are characteristic of surveillance or signals intelligence missions.
The use of the Nachshon Oron in such operations underlines the high level of situational awareness maintained by the Israeli Air Force amid ongoing regional tensions. The aircraft’s unique capabilities enable real-time data collection and battlefield monitoring, playing a crucial role in supporting both strategic planning and tactical operations.
While no official statement has been released regarding the purpose of the flight, the timing and location suggest it may be linked to continuing security concerns in and around the Gaza Strip and central Israel.
