Hi ya.

According to local newspapers, it was this time not pirate broadcaster, this time it was


A faulty ILS due to overwhelming vegetation, which lead to a wrong instrument indication and too low approaches of two aircrafts in bad visibility.


An EL AL pilot who didnīt follow the instruction of the ATC "close enough" (whatever this means) causes a near miss with an Uzbekistan AL a/c.


Probe of near misses finds serious failures at B-G Airport - Haaretz - Israel News (http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1094893.html)

Maybe itīs overhyping "journo stuff", but in the recent times, there are indication that incidents mounts in the israelian civil aviation.
