Tensions were heightened on Monday as IDF fighter planes scrambled towards an Egyptian reconnaissance helicopter which had crossed into Israeli airspace over the Gaza Strip. Initial estimates allay fears of any hostile intent and indicate the incident was likely due to pilot error.

The aircraft was spotted by Israeli forces after it crossed the aerial border. Air Force jets were scrambled to intercept the helicopter and escort it back to Egyptian airspace. Military liaisons from both Israel and Egypt are currently reviewing the incident.

“Egyptian reconnaissance helicopter”

A scout helicopter like our OH58 or a German BO105?

People get discombobulated all the time, no big deal. Egypt and Israel are not the issue nor should some harmless accident be played up into something it isn’t.

The real problems are Syria and Iran, not Egypt or Jordan. -IMHO
