Jordan has dropped humanitarian aid into Gaza from the air before, however this was the first joint operation with the French Air Force. - Click on the link for more.
I highly doubt that any country would fly into combat airspace without coordination. That sounds a recipe for a massive international incident if a plane gets shot down.
Employ military force to ensure the sovereignty of their airspace.
The playbook’s pretty standard:
If people are using commercial overflight allowances to drop cargo into a war zone one of the combatants could simply deny commercial overflight.
Then fighter escorts to remove the aircraft from the contested airspace
Then warning shots
Then downing aircraft.
so I would love for the journalist to tell me what the current situation is, what Israel’s response to this is, and what the ongoing future air situation is anticipated to be
Allies don’t violate your airspace, creating bad media for you.
But yes to answer your first question I absolutely would expect them to deny commercial overflight of their military operations. I’m honestly surprised they haven’t already
I will be absolutely shocked and terrified if Israel shoots down a French plane, fuck them for the genocide they are committing, but that moment would be Gavrilo Princip, Pearl Harbor, Gulf of Tonkin(I know I know), and 9/11 combined in terms of ushering in a new age of conflict. It could easily rip NATO and the UN apart while also escalating the conflict in the Middle East to new heights. I don’t think, or maybe I just hope that, Israel is that stupid.
And Israel is just going to let these overflights into their airspace?
I really do wish a professional journalist would have answered this very obvious and direct follow-up question any reasonable reader would have…
Probably the same thing they did last time Jordan airdropped supplies: be honest and coordinate.
Notably, Reuters got an official “no comment” from Israel for this round of aid. Which probably means yes, but we don’t want to have it on record.
See, this is the kind of context I’m looking for.

And you think they would do this to an ally trying to help innocent people that Israel is bombing to hell?

None of Israel’s allies are true friends of the Israeli people. Because friends don’t let friends commit genocide.
