Direct JTA Teletype Wire
To The Jewish News
TEL AVIV — A Lebanese
military plane was intercepted
early Wednesday in northern
Israel and followed Israel
fighter planes to Haifa Airport,
landing after the Israel planes
fired several warning shots.
A military spokesman said
the plane was a three-engined
FM 79 Italian type Savoia
Machetti which was intercepted
over Ayelet Hashacher settle-
ment in the upper Galilee. He
said the warning shots were
fired when the plane at first
refused to heed signals from
the intercepting fighters to
land.
The plane and its crew of
five were detained at the air-
port where it was found that
special reconnaisance photo-
graphic equipment was part of
the plane's facilities.
