Israeli warplane crashes in southern West Bank

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Al-Khalil, Feb 11, IRNA -- A Israeli warplane on Wednesday crashed 
south of the West Bank town of al-Khalil during what is described as a
"training mission." 
The Israeli state-run radio said the pilot of the A-4 Skyhawk 
warplane bailed out safely and was rescued by Israeli troops in the 
region. 
The US-made aircraft was the main fighter jet in the Israeli air 
force in the late 1960s and early 1970s. 
The plane was withdrawn several years ago and is now used for 
training purposes.
