Not the first time IIF has had to be sneaky.

One example is in the War of Attrition (post 6-Day War in '67) ~ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_Air_Force#War_of_Attri... while the other was in '81, Operation Opera where the Iraqi Osirak nuclear reactor was destroyed using similiar techniques ~ http://op-for.com/2006/07/the_genesis_of_a_deep_penetrat.htm... and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Opera#The_attack
