My guess, by an IDF/AF drone. These planes are up almost 24/7 and since it was near the Gaza they could have re-routed one easily after the distress call.

If this is the case, I wonder what a turning radius of a drone is at minimum airspeed.. Looks like the camera is at a fixed position.

Even a Cessna 172 cam turn on a poststamp witn 10° flaps. A drone is in the same airspeed range so you can expect at least the same performamce.

It seems the Sufa took off from Ramon so probabely a 119 or 201sq jet.
