The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many planes operated by the Royal Air Force have landed in (a) Lebanon, (b) Egypt, (c) Jordan and (d) Syria since 7 October 2023.

The RAF undertakes regular flights to the Middle East region as part of our routine engagement and to support regional partners. For operational security considerations I will not comment further.
