The next day Israeli jets flew a reconnaissance mission over the airport just to make sure the commandos had done their job. This. quite clearly. was an act of war. It made a mockery of all talk about peace on earth. good will to men. And yet it cannot be considered as an Isolated event. It stemmed directly from an attack by two Arab terrorists against an Israeli passenger plane in Athens. Greece. Two Palestinian Arabs. trained In demolition at a refugee camp in Lebanon. went to Greece to destroy the ElAl plane. They murdered an Israeli passenger in the process. While the Israelis demolished 13 planes for one. they apparently killed no one in the Beirut raid.
