As Radio Kan reported, the commander of the Israeli Air Force, Tomer Bar, issued a special order to prevent the aircrew from traveling abroad.
According to the radio station, such a decision was made by the leadership of the Israeli Air Force after assessing the security situation in the light of preparations for a possible attack by Iran and the Lebanese Shia terrorist movement "Hezbollah." Israel Air Force pilots have been banned from traveling abroad on rest days, and trips for other purposes require re-approval on a case-by-case basis.
