Israel has relocated its official government plane to Berlin's airport for security reasons following deadly strikes that killed Iran's Supreme Leader. The specially-equipped Boeing 767 flew to Germany Saturday evening with only crew members aboard.
BERLIN – Germany has confirmed that Israel’s official government aircraft has been moved to Berlin’s airport as a security precaution, following joint U.S. and Israeli military operations that resulted in the death of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and escalated regional tensions.
According to German government officials, the aircraft left Israeli airspace Saturday afternoon and spent time circling over Mediterranean waters before making its way to Germany that evening, based on flight tracking data from Flightradar24.
German sources confirmed that Israeli authorities had pre-registered the flight and that the aircraft carried only flight crew during the journey to Berlin.
The relocated aircraft, known as the “Wing of Zion,” is Israel’s official state plane – a modified Boeing 767 that has been outfitted with specialized equipment for government operations and official diplomatic missions.
