RNA - The tweet by Israeli journalist Edy Cohen claims that an Emirati pilot had been involved in recent air raids on positions of Palestinian resistance groups inside the Gaza Strip.

He said the pilot "was part of the Israeli air force in the bombing of” resistance forces in Gaza "three weeks ago."

He went on to challenge the Emirati deputy police chief, Dhahi Khalfan Tamim, who had apparently denied the participation of UAE pilots in Israel's aerial assaults against Gaza.

“Does Dahi Khalfan Tamim deny the presence of an Emirati pilot who was part of the Israeli air force in the bombing of ... Gaza three weeks ago,” Cohen said in his tweet, adding, “He trains on our Israeli f35s. I challenge him to deny it.”
