Formerly an
A-4H/N and then an
F-16A/B squadron, the squadron was closed in August 2013, as part of IDF budget cuts. Its aircraft were allocated to
116 Squadron (Defenders of the South). In 2015, it was announced that the "Golden Eagle" Squadron would be the first Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II Squadron in the IAF. The squadron received its first two aircraft in December 2016. סקייהוק.jpg|An
