After investigating, the Israeli Air Force has so far found that ribbons drawn with contrails in the skies over Israel earlier this morning were caused by IAF aircraft “routine operational activity,” the military says.
The IDF is still investigating if the ribbons were possibly a stunt carried out as part of a rogue initiative.
There have been no claims of responsibility for the sky drawings, and the widespread assumption that the ribbons were meant as a gesture to hostages in Gaza has not been confirmed.
