...control of yet another plane. A Swissair DC-8 was over France on its way from Zurich to New York when French ground controllers were surprised to hear a woman speaking on the Swissair frequency. "Swissair Flight 100 is in our complete control," she said. "Our call sign is Haifa One. We will not answer to any other code." Meanwhile TWA Flight 741 had also issued a new call signal. It was Gaza...
...commandos ever killed in one fight on Israeli territory. Three other major Arab thrusts came from southern Lebanon. Rockets killed a father and daughter in the east Galilee town of Kiryat Shemona; three Israeli soldiers died in an ambush on the foothills of Mount Hermon, and Israeli police near Haifa trapped a Fatah band, claiming four kills while suffering three wounded.

Using an Elliott 503 computer, Yehuda Radday, a lecturer in biblical studies and Hebrew in Haifa, produced a 175-page statistical linguistics analysis of Isaiah.

Noses are casually counted, and any member can open a new chapter of the group any time he cares...
...line will also contribute to the nascent petrochemical industry centered in Haifa. To capitalize on the increased flow of crude oil, Israel is also building a big refinery at Ashkelon to supplement one operating in Haifa; together these facilities will give Israel one of the largest refining capacities in the Middle East. Even after taking care of its own growing needs, Israel expects, by 1973, to export more than 14 million bbl. of refined products yearly, bringing in considerable amounts of foreign currency. Underlying all this activity is Israel's worried awareness that the Arabs' political influence...
