crash of the Israeli Phantom yes-
terday just inside the Lebanese border near Mount
Hermon. Syria claims its forces shot the jet fighter
down, while Israel asserts that it crashed because
of a technical malfunction.
UN observers confirm that two pilots bailed out
of the aircraft and that rescue helicopters entered
the area in an attempt to reach them. Subsequent
reports indicate that the pilots are in the hands of
Lebanese authorities, who have promised to meet with
the Israelis today to discuss their return.
The incident follows a weekend of unusually
heavy activity by Israeli aircraft.
Action yesterday along the Golan front was
limited to artillery and tank exchanges.
