#1 Israel isn't big enough to get lost in. They are either stupid (too stupid to fly anyway) or lying.

#5 Why? There's no reason to try to fly over Dimona unless you're trying to do mischief. The photos are readily available on Google Earth.

I'd personaly consficate their plane and hand out lengthy prison terms, then when repeated, shoot them down.
