Operation Uvda
Operation Uvda ( he, מבצע עובדה, ''Mivtza Uvda'') was an operation conducted by the Israel Defense Forces during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, from March 5 to March 10, 1949. It was the last campaign undertaken by the IDF during the war and its objective was to capture the southern Negev desert, which was claimed by the Kingdom of Jordan to be under Jordanian control in the armistice talks of 1949. The southern Negev was designated to be part of the Jewish State in the 1947 UN Partition Plan. The name ''uvda'' (עובדה) is Hebrew for "fact", referring to the operation's objective to establish de facto Israeli sovereignty over the territory in question, rather than actually conquer it. As such, the Israeli forces did not meet significant resistance on their way. The region claimed during this operation is now referred to as Uvda. The Negev, Golani and Alexandroni brigades participated in the operation, as well as a number of smaller units. Prior reconnaissance In Jan ...

Uvda (Israel)
Uvda ( he, עובדה) is the name of a region in the southern Negev desert, directly north of Eilat. The name derives from the Hebrew word ''uvda'' (meaning fact). The region was captured during Operation Uvda in the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, when the Israel Defense Forces entered the area with the stated aim of establishing 'facts on the ground', hence the name. The Uvda Valley is known for the 7000-year-old archaeological site.

Ovda Airport
Ovda Airport is a military air base and former Joint-use airport, joint-use civilian airport in the Uvda (Israel), Uvda region of southern Israel, about north of Eilat. It was the country's second international airport. Ovda was originally built as a military airbase in 1980 following Israel's withdrawal from the Sinai Peninsula as part of the Israel-Egypt Peace Treaty because the Israeli Air Force needed alternative airfields to its Sinai bases. The airport ceased handling civilian flights on 31 March 2019 thanks to the opening of Ramon Airport, which is located much closer to the city of Eilat than Ovda. In 2020 a plan was announced to establish ''Airpark,'' a large commercial aircraft boneyard, aircraft storage facility at Ovda capable of storing hundreds of aircraft. The facility will be operated in association with Israel Aerospace Industries, IAI, a leading provider of aviation maintenance services. The decision was taken in light of the impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic on ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
