Israel to Protect Passenger Planes Against Rockets
(DPA) Israel's security cabinet convened on Sunday to discuss expediting a plan to protect passenger planes against shoulder-launched rockets, Israeli media reported Monday. Israel Radio reported that all Israeli passenger planes will be equipped soon with a system that can divert rockets launched at them. A senior government official told Israel Radio that "no more delays can be tolerated" because of intelligence warnings that militants may be planning attacks on passenger planes. Planes to Eilat will be the first to be equipped with the diversion system because of the resort city's proximity to Egypt.
