Edit: added quotes, from article

Number of RAF aircraft landed in Beirut by Britain, a key backer of the Israeli military, has surged in recent months amid threats of a new offensive, but their purpose remains unclear.

Ministry of Defence refuses to divulge number of flights but Declassified constructs timeline

Most RAF flights are Voyager aircraft which can carry nearly 300 soldiers

Declassified understands flights are “primarily facilitating senior military engagement”

Hezbollah has warned Cypriot government not to aid Israel
