Airliner Forcibly Diverted Heightens Israel Diplomacy Crisis
Arab governments condemned Israel after its jets forced a Middle East Airlines Caravelle bound for Iraqi Airways to land in Israel. All 1 aboard were questioned.

Captain Yitzhak Shaked of the Israeli Pilots Association criticized the operation despite his group’s anti hijacking stance.
