The aircraft joined the 103rd transport squadron at Ramat David, but as Israel was in the midst of the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, was occasionally used as a bomber as well.
This was achieved by removing the aft loading door and rolling the bombs out of the opening "by a judicious shove from a crewman's foot."

The operational record of the aircraft is in dispute as authoritative sources do not verify its combat service, nonetheless, when the war ended and the 103rd squadron moved, the DC-5 was left behind.
It eventually found its way to the Airline Technical School where it was used extensively as a ground instruction airframe at Haifa Airport.
When it no longer was serviceable due to a lack of spares, the airframe was stripped of its engines and instruments and the last DC-5 was reduced to scrap some time after 1955.
