Journalists noted that this plane was built for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. It was “gathering dust” after being handed over to the Israeli Air Force a few years ago.
It (this plane – 24 Kanal) was never used officially,
– noted the Israeli newspaper.
The journalists also noted that this step was taken against the background of heightened anxiety in Israel regarding an Iranian attack on the country.
On the eve of the massive attack, representatives of the defense department estimated that Iran would likely try to target military infrastructure rather than civilian objects.
However, it is not known for certain whether Netanyahu was still on board. There is no official information about this. As well as confirmation that the Wing of Zion is the Doomsday plane.
Note that around midnight on April 14, the official page of the Prime Minister of Israel in the X social network, formerly known as Twitter, published a photo and noted that Netanyahu “is now being convened by the military cabinet in Kirya in Tel Aviv.” This public confirmation contradicts rumors that the official allegedly “left the country”.

What is known about the Doomsday plane
- There is very little information about the Israeli Doomsday plane. Some media write that it is a specially equipped aircraft that has never been used before. It is noted that it was allegedly lifted into the sky, as if hinting at the potential placement of nuclear weapons.
- У Republic World noted: investigations into the existence of the Doomsday plane have yielded no substantial evidence. Israel’s defense and aviation authorities generally rejected these claims as “groundless speculation.” Also in the mass media, with reference to the ministry, they wrote that “no such aircraft was used for evacuation purposes.”
- Note that the Doomsday planes have the USA. It is about Boeing E-4. It is known that this is an air command post designed to control the armed forces in the event of a nuclear war.
- Such an aircraft can withstand the impact of a nuclear explosion due to its reinforced structure. It is equipped with electromagnetic pulse protection, which protects the ship from the effects of radioactive radiation.
- Also, this type of aircraft is equipped with modern means of communication, which make it possible to keep in touch with different parts of the world. In addition, it is equipped with weapons control systems, thanks to which it can control air and ground forces.
- Note that the Doomsday plane is also owned by the Russian invaders. It is about IL-80. By the way, in 2022, propagandists spread the word that the ship will take part in the parade on May 9. However, on that day there was no air parade at all.
Pay attention! At night, the IDF confirmed that Iran launched dozens of ballistic missiles at Israel, totaling more than 200 different projectiles. Most of the missiles were intercepted by anti-aircraft defense outside Israeli airspace. In addition, fighters shot down dozens of cruise missiles and dozens of drones.
