A new track being flown by Israeli Air Force G550 Oron was noticed on Oct. 15, 2023, as air strikes inside Lebanon were conducted.
On the night of Oct. 15, 2023, a new pattern of the Israel Air Force’s new surveillance platform G550 Nachshon Oron was noticed as the IDF announced that they would begin airstrikes in Lebanon. During the Israeli – Hamas conflict, the G550 Oron was regularly spotted on public aircraft tracking sites such as FR24.com orbiting over Israel and off its coastline providing signals intelligence across the area.
However, on Sunday a different pattern emerged amidst heightened tensions between Israel and Lebanon. Soon after, the Israeli government announced its first successful strike of Hezbollah military infrastructure in Lebanon.
Between Oct. 9 and Oct. 15, the Oron was spotted regularly over the skies of Israel and its coast under the callsign DNMRK or IRON.
