4. Yeah they're loading and unloading something. A ton of it, still going at a heavy rate

I wouldn't doubt if this is arms and materials for Bibi to just move on Lebanon outright as you suggest. Also was Israel mentioned in his 2 week BS plan? They are not going anywhere else but Israel. 2 KC 135's circling over Israel also probably keeping some fueled as they wait and/or refueling fighters. I've seen that but don't think I've seen 2 at once.

All of it doesn't necessarily mean anything. They could switch away from ADSB on their transponders if they wish. Makes a busy airspace a little harder to control for controllers. I know NATO would do this at the beginning of the Ukraine war along the border with transponders on in a just to let Russia know they were there mode so who the hell knows. Could be training maneuvers. Just a crazy ton of them.
