Does anyone know whether this is a non-stop sortie or are they stopping en route?

Just routed North up the Dead Sea was, so my screen tells me, KC-135R 80085 with trade reported as Grizzly 01. If it was that it was on FR24 with no hex, just "000246" in the space provided. That track maybe went east, but the KC continued NNW before returning over TLV while I was otherwise engaged.

So they should be on there way back up across the Med do we have any reports as to how far south they actually got?
