Sayeret Matkal operatives plan improvised assault on hijacked Sabena 707 at Lod Airport

Sayeret Matkal operatives plan improvised assault on hijacked Sabena 707 at Lod Airport The passage provides a detailed, first‑person account of Israeli special‑forces (Sayeret Matkal) preparations for a potential rescue operation, mentioning senior officials (Dado, Dayan, Prime Minister Meir) and the involvement of El Al air marshals. While it offers concrete operational details (use of Beretta pistols, coordination with airline technicians, timeline of 9:30 pm), it does not reveal new wrongdoing or financial flows, limiting its investigative impact. However, it does expose decision‑making chains and possible unauthorized armament of reservists, which could merit further inquiry into command protocols and rules of engagement. Key insights: Sayeret Matkal units were mobilized to Lod Airport for a possible rescue of a hijacked Sabena 707.; Operatives coordinated with El Al for hangar space and a similar aircraft for rehearsal.; Plans included acquiring 22‑caliber Beretta pistols and leveraging El Al air marshals who are Sayeret reservists.
