Palestinians infiltrate air force base

August 16-31, 2011

In 2008, a serious security breach occurred at the Nevatim Air Force Base, when four Palestinians succeeded in entering the base without anyone noticing.

The Palestinians from the area around Hebron in the southern West Bank were apparently seeking work on one of the base’s construction projects. They managed to get by a variety of security measures, including fences and video cameras. They were on the base for an hour going through fighter jets, cargo planes, bombs and high-tech weapons. They also passed many soldiers and officers without arousing anyone’s suspicions.

Only when they approached a contractor who was overseeing one of the construction projects, it was discovered that they had no authorisation to be on the base. They were immediately arrested.
