Fighter jets scramble to intercept Lufthansa plane that failed to identify

None

A Lufthansa passenger airline created a brief panic at Ben Gurion airport on Saturday afternoon after it failed to identify itself upon entering the airfield's airspace.

 

IDF fighter jets scrambled to intercept it, but a short while later the error was rectified and the plane landed safely. The Lufthansa pilot will be questioned at the airport. (Tani Goldstein)
