It sure looks that way. Articles on the subject originally said that EK's freighters would be converted at AUH once the IAI line was up and running there. I would guess that plans have changed and they must be converting some at TLV instead.
On another note, it looks like EXN, EXO, and EXP could be on track for delivery before the end of the year. Hopefully we will see another route announcement soon...
