When Israel Shot Down a Libyan Passenger Plane, but Refused to Take Responsibility
Fifty years ago Israel’s air force killed 108 people when it shot down a Libyan passenger plane that accidently flew over an IDF base. Recently declassified cabinet minutes show how Israel refused to conduct an investigation and cloaked itself in self-righteousness
It’s intriguing how things become engraved in the memory. The afternoon of February 21, 1973, in Jerusalem was gray and cold, without rain. That I remember. In the Sinai Peninsula, a sandstorm rendered visibility poor. That I know. A few years later, I served in Sinai and experienced many a sandstorm. I’ve never seen anything like them in Israel itself.
