According to Israeli publication Haaretz, The Israel Defence Forces will be receiving another three Super Hercules transport planes by the end of 2016, supplementing the three aircraft it already has at its Nevatim airbase.  

In 2014, Haaretz reported that the Israel Air Force had reached agreement to buy one additional Hercules and was considering buying three. Each plane cost $75 million.

The new and improved Super Hercules is considered particularly well suited for special air force missions. It can carry heavier cargo than previous Hercules models and can fly at lower altitudes. It can carry 128 passengers or four motor vehicles and, in a different configuration, can accommodate 92 parachutists.
