Afraid of Drones, "Israeli" Airport Suspends Flights over Suspicious Object
Local Editor
Operations at "Israeli" Ben Gurion Airport were suspended Wednesday morning after a suspicious aircraft was detected in the sky over central the Zionist entity by "Israeli" Air Force control systems.
The "Israeli" radio station unveiled that fighter jets were called to the surrounding of Elide Airport . Thus, it was decided to halt all departures and arrivals for five minutes.
"Since the infiltration of a drone into the "Israeli" depth airspace days ago, "Israel's" aerial control centers have been alerted," the "Israeli" radio reported.
It further mentioned that "since long time, "Israel" didn't close its airspace for security reasons."
In parallel, military sourced informed the radio that "the operation of downing the object didn't succeed from the first trial."
According to the sources, ""Israeli" aircrafts succeeded in the second attempt only after the plane was able to fly for half an hour in the "Israeli" airspace, in a surprising manner."
For its part, "Israeli" Yedioth Ahronoth daily revealed Wednesday that several "Israeli" fighter jets have already been launched at suspicious objects.
Moreover, it exposed new details on the downing of the drone over al-Naqab Forest last week. According to the report, "the first missile fired by the F-16 jet missed the drone. The second Panther missile, the "Israeli" most advanced air-to-air missile, hit the target."
In an attempt to limit the consequences of "Israeli" failure, senior "Israeli" sources claimed that "such a miss was reasonable when taking into account the drone's size."
"This is not a failure, no other army in the world with "Israel's" aerial defense systems, could prevent the infiltration of such aircraft," the sources claimed.
