The aircraft, known as the “Wing of Zion,” left Israel on Saturday (Feb 28), sparking speculation on social media that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu might be heading to Germany.
Flight-tracking data showed the plane departed Israel early Saturday afternoon, circled for hours over the Mediterranean Sea, then flew to Germany and landed in Berlin that evening.
The specially equipped Boeing 767 serves as the official aircraft for overseas trips by both Israel’s president and prime minister. According to Israeli media reports, the plane is fitted with advanced secure communications systems.
