Whilst the C-130s were bought for a specific role and this aren't part of the mainstream transport fleet but are still present in their inventory and are thus still a burden on training, logistics, MRO etc so you can't immediately discount them just ecause they aren't present in exceedingly high numbers.
They are not a burden, since it was planned to operate them aside of MTA, in the same class, but for a specific reason that the MTA doesn't offer. So you can't count them as part of the actual transport fleet of IAF, especially in these low numbers.
