Comment
This is amazing : it arrived from it's last mission at around 20:00 UTC and takes off again after barely half an hour.That more like touch-and-go than turn-around !
They have to be somewhere in a hurry and there's no other C130 available ?
It's flying into Israel like it's going to do another 'small Albert'...but it can't have loaded or unloaded anything of consequence in Akrotiri.
"Curiouser and curiouser !"

@ 22:26 UTC : Returning to Akrotiri from Nevatim. That too was a very quick in and out. Again barely time to load or unload anything.
Apart from that, it's the first time we see an RAF machine going there.
