The plane with the trucks and military equipment later returned to the UAE after a short stopover in Georgia, the report added.

An Antonov An-124 Ruslan plane loaded with US-made military trucks landed at Ben-Gurion Airport after traveling from the United Arab Emirates on Friday, Israel's public broadcaster KAN News reported.

The trucks, carrying what appeared to be military equipment, were later loaded back onto the cargo plane, which then returned to the UAE after a short stopover in Georgia, the report added.
