But see Jerusalem Post:
Sri Lanka Ambassador Diffa Digeratna said Tuesday morning: "We are very thankful to the government of Israel for providing those facilities to Sri Lanka."
He said that due to logistical constraints and "the lack of accommodations in Colombo" (the capital), his government had requested that Israel send a reduced delegation.

I hadn't read the Post yet this morning. Thank you for the update. It is good to see that Israeli aid, whether from teh IDF or not, is not truly being refused.
