4 February 1986: Two Israel Air Force F-15s intercepted a Libyan Gulfstream II business jet enroute to
Damascus, east of Cyprus and forced it to land at Ramat David air base. Intelligence information had led
the Israelis to believe that top Palestinian leaders were on board. After searching the aircraft for four
hours, none were found and the aircraft was released (Lednicer, David: Intrusions, Overflights,
Shootdowns and Defections During the Cold War and Thereafter,
