1. A Tested Alliance: e American Airlift to Israel in the Yom Kippur War by David Tal

Extracts:
When the Yom Kippur War broke out, Israel turned to the United States,asking for quick replacement of the arms it was losing in the war. It took more than a week before the Americans launched a massive airlift to Israel,consisting of the supply Israel was asking for. The feeling in Israel, and in later historiography, is that the Nixon administration had deliberately delayed the airlift for reasons that are subject to historiographical debate.Some put the blame on James Schlesinger, the secretary of defense, and some on Henry Kissinger, the secretary of state and the president's national security adviser. ?is article suggests a different explanation, according to which on the one hand, for the Americans, the delay was not really a delay,and on the second hand, the way Israel made the requests did not transmit to the administration the sense of urgency the Israelis were feeling.
Considering the history of Israel-US relations, there was little doubt thatIsrael would get the arms eventually. e US would not let Israel fall; that
was clear from the beginning.

2. Refugees at Tel Hadid (Non-Israelite settlers After the Assyrian Exile in Lod, Israel)

After the Assyrian conquest of ancient Israel, who lived in the land?
Tel Hadid, which is believed to be the remains of Hadid from the Bible (first mentioned in Ezra 2:32 and Nehemiah 11:34), sits in central Israel, near the Ben Gurion Airport. It overlooks the coastal highway/main trade route (the Via Maris), the Samarian foothills, and the Lydda Valley. Throughout its long history, this strategic location has played a significant role in political events and uprisings.
In 'Forced Resettlement and Immigration at Tel Hadid,' in the Summer 2020 issue of Biblical Archaeology Review, Ido Koch, Dan Warner, Eli Yannai, Lin Lawson Pruitt, Dennis Cole, and James Parker share their recent discoveries, and their connection to Tel Hadid,s long, interesting history.
According to the Hebrew Bible, when Assyria ruled supreme the Assyrians forcibly removed the ancient Israelites from their homeland and settled a new people group in their place (2 Kings 17:24). At Tel Hadid, evidence of this forced resettlement can be found in the objects and writings left behind by the inhabitants of the city.
Tel Hadid Real Estate Tablet
This tablet from Tel Hadid records a real estate transaction from the autumn of 698 B.C.E. All names recorded in the tablet (the buyer and the sellers, plus the witnesses) are not Israelite, but rather (probably) Babylonian or Aramean. Photo: Courtesy of the Israel Museum.
One such document is a real estate tablet from the autumn of 698 B.C.E. Written in Akkadian, the native language of the Assyrian Empire, all nine named invidivuals on the tablet (the buyer, the seller, and seven witnesses) have either Aramean or Akkadian (probably Babylonian) names. Not one individual has a Yahwistic name, suggesting that the Israelites were gone. Similar Akkadian documents and seals have been found at the nearby site of Gezer (one of the ten cities allotted to the Levites in Joshua 21).

By comparing phonologies of different languages in Asia and Europe to the reconstructed phonology of Proto-Germanic, it can be seen that the western part of Iran where there were early contacts between Indo-European and Semitic languages, could be just the original land of people who spoke Proto-Germanic language.
