Missing Jet, Iranian Threats, Prompt Israel to Tighten Air Security

Top Israeli defense officials have hurriedly put in place a confidential list of secret security measures in light of the baffling disappearance of a Malaysia Airlines jumbo jet that experts fear could become a weapon of mass destruction if in the wrong hands.

With no trace of Beijing-bound flight MH370 after nine days, one of several theories that has emerged is that the plane was hijacked to Iran, where it could be turned into a massive and devastating weapon. Two Iranian passengers are known to have been aboard, travelling on false passports. While Israeli officials did not confirm any suspicions regarding Iran, experts said it is not a stretch to point the finger at Israel's middle east nemesis.

“My guess is based upon the stolen passports, and I believe Iran was involved [in the disappearance of the plane],” Issac Yeffet, formerly a global security expert for Israel’s national airline El Al told today’s Times of Israel. “They hijacked the aircraft and they landed it in a place that nobody can see or find it.”

As the search continued to widen fruitlessly, Israeli security officials and aviation authorities, who have long feared a 9/11-style attack, conducted a security assessment and rapidly implemented a series of security measures. The only one reported publicly is that Israeli air traffic controllers will demand that incoming aircraft identify themselves earlier than has so far been the case, sources told FoxNews.com.

IDF officials aim to ensure an unthinkable repetition of the Twin Towers attack doesn’t happen in Tel Aviv, where the skyscraping triple Azrieli Towers rise high above the city. There's good reason to believe the three-tower commercial-residential-office complex is a coveted target of the Islamic Republic.

In a recent video simulation broadcast by Iranian state TV after the initial agreement with the international community on a reduction in Iran’s nuclear capability was signed, the Azrieli Towers were shown being blown up by Iranian missiles.

The Israeli media has speculated that if Iran played a part in the disappearance of the plane, it is all but certain the regime would not have been directly involved. It would likely instead act through a third party, using one of the many international terror organizations Iran sponsors and maintaining plausible deniability. Tehran would not want to jeopardize the easing of international sanctions and other gains made recently at the Geneva negotiations with the US and the P5+1.

The recent interception of a boatload of Iranian M-302 missiles headed for Israel’s enemies in the Gaza Strip or Sinai Peninsula has given rise to further speculation in Israel that Iran might be considering all manner of means to strike back after such an embarrassing and damaging loss.

“This would never have happened on an Israeli plane,” Yeffet said. “An El Al aircraft was hijacked for the first and last time in 1968. Since then, there has not been a single flight where security did not check every single name.”

Yeffet believes that the time consuming and often-criticized profiling of every passenger at Israeli airports would have picked up the Iranians travelling on false papers.

Most flights to and from Israel require check-in three hours before the advertised flight time and passengers are often faced with many questions (some personal) that some people take exception to. The fact remains though that the Israeli method seems to work and has, thus far, proved watertight.

“More security costs more money,” Menachem Yarden, a retired El Al pilot with more than 37 years experience told Fox News.com. “Few companies these days are making money because of increased costs and relatively low ticket prices. Especially in the U.S., spending more money on security and telling people to come 3 hours before the flight – even if their flight time is just one hour – it’s crazy. No-one would fly.”

Asked if air marshals - allegedly placed on every El Al plane - might have made a difference to flight MH370 if, as some believe, it has been hijacked, Yarden said, “As El Al pilots we didn’t know all the security measures [put in place]. Security is a separate matter [to piloting] and the fewer people that know about it, the more secure it is.”

Yarden said it is possible such a huge aircraft could have flown thousands of miles undetected.

“Yes. It is possible to fly as low as the pilot is able,” Yarden confirmed. “When you switch off the transponder no civil controller can see you. In 9/11 the pilots switched off the transponders and no one saw them. It is not like military radar which sends electromagnetic pulses that receives back the echo via antenna.”

“In this extraordinary case any theory might be the right theory,” Yarden concluded. “No one knows what’s happened.”

  1. My husband and I always pray for Israel. The Lord says, "I will bless those who bless you and I will curse those who curse you." I hope Israel would already find peace with its neighboring countries but then these wars have originated since the days Moses.

    Anyway, I believe there is wisdom in what they say that the missing mh370 might have been hijacked by Iran. Israel has been known as one of the most intellectual people and also the most wealthy people in the world.

    1. I dont knoy the history of Isael's conflict with its neighboring countries but someone explained to me na yung lupa na kinatitirikan ng bansa nila eh ninakaw daw nila sa mga Lebanese. Pinaalis nila ang mga Lebanese at inangkin ng Israel ang lupa. Kaya galit yung mga bansang nakapaligid sa kanila. But you will be amazed kaliit na bansa pero walang nakakatalo at nakakasakop sa kanila. Hollywood studios are run by Jewish people. The real estate properties in NY are mostly owned by them. Hardworking and driven sila. Tingin ko nag ugat yan sa ginawa ni Hitler na halos ubusin ang lahi nila. Since then, ayaw na nila magpa api.

    2. Anon 5:29, ang gulo sa pagitan ng Israel at ibang karatig bansa ay nagsimula pa sa bibliya. Ang Israel ay kinaiinggitan ng mga bansang ito dahil kahit na maliit na bansa sila at kakaunti ang mga mandirigma, they always win against their enemies. Mahaba ang kwento eh pero try mo research, napakaganda ng history ng israel. The country is so rich sa lahat ng aspect; oil, water, agriculture, technology atbp. They are considered the richest people in the world, sila ang bumubuhay sa economy ng US pero obama has decided to withdraw their support for Israel instead kakampihan nya ang Iran. Kaya goodluck sa kanila, God said He will curse those who curse Israel.

  5. I am so proud that PH has played a big role in Israeli's coming back as one nation again. The time when UN voted for and against Israel to be recognised as one nation again. Carlos Garcia broke the tie, he voted yes to recognising them as one nation kaya Israel always helps PH dahil nagpapasalamat sila sa atin. :) we could have been a very rich country kasi sabi ni God he will bless those who bless israel kaso andaming corrupt dito. :(

  8. It is very clear that it didn't crash in the ocean. It is not a suicide and it is also not a hi-jack.It is very clear that they need the airplane! This is a planned take-over of the plane because they will probably use it in another much greater 9-11 attack. They will load something in this big B777 aircraft!! If 2 iranians are involved then the next target would be israel. They might jampack load it with nukes & disguise it as a passenger commercial plane wham it directly to the populated area of jerusalem. Here's what's happened - When the plane was in cruising speed (33,000Ft), the capt take a leak and the first officer locked himself in the cockpit. He turned off the oxygen of the aircraft to cause hypoxia and caused the death to all passengers including the crew. He then radio "all right good night". The 2 iranians get the spare aviation oxygen. After that, they turned off the Transponders & head the opposite way trying to stay hidden & evading radars. Then the plane might have been taken somewhere in the mideast & landed in a rough field or abandoned highway. If the pilot is on a suicide mission, no need to hide the plane. He will then simply crash the plane no need to hide it from the radars & the wreckage will surely be found easily but it clearly shows they are evading & trying to hide their destination. They need the plane because they are cooking up something...... This is planned long time ago that is why they have to use 2 stolen passports to hide their identity and with it is the sympathy of one of the pilots which they sent to flying school for this mission. Now they might have changed the registry of the plane & the paint livery as well & are training more kamikaze pilots. Then they will load many things from a B777 aircraft & will use it as a flying missile to whomever their target is.. Beware this will cause much greater tragedy in the future if they will not find the plane in time... U.S. should act on this immediately with great concern!

  11. It is never far fetched that Iran, if they hijacked MH plane, might use it for slamming into Israel. Iran had been very vocal to erase Israel from the world. But Israel will never take it sitting down. Their motto is "never again" which means that they as a nation will never let history again repeat that Jews for that matter be butchered.

    Israel is so battle tested. They have the best army, intelligence, and got the best weapons to counter terrorism. Long live Israel, long live the people of God!

  12. Wala po kinalaman ang two passengers who uses the stolen passport. Iranian guy 19 yr old was just using the fake passport to seek for an asylum sa france kung saan andon mom nya waiting for him too. Pibakita po ang mga pics nya w the petronas tower sa fb post nya w caption feeling excited. He's gonna be leaving iran for good. I think nakuha ng alien ang mh370

    1. I think lahat ito ay dahil sa promise land. Inagaw daw kasi ng mga hudyo ang lupa nila sabi ng mga palestinian. E sabi naman ng mga hudyo, amin to, nipramis ito ni Yahweh sa amin. Sabi naman ng mga palestinian, hello, amin to andito na kami dati pa and we rightfully own this land because Ishmael (yung first born ni Abraham dun sa maid na muslim na si Hagar) ay ninuno namin. Under Jewish laws kasi, the firsborn inherits the father's properties. Yan kaya labo labo na sila don sa middle east.

    2. Inggit po because Jews have everything, wealth, wisdom, power, a good land and a great God. Ito din rason kung bakit pinatay ni hitler mga jews noon.

    7. Hindi itich sa pandadaot ng mga Muslim, ha. Pero ever since makikita sa history nila na mahilig sila magsumiksik sa holy place ng may holy place para ipakita na superior ang religion nila. Yung Jerusalem kiniclaim nila kahit di naman sila ang tumayo. Pati yung Oudh na sagrado sa mga Hindu dahil birthplace ni Rama. Ilang beses na nilang nilusob ang Rome dati pero waley.

  15. This is just a theory until they find the plane and real evidence. But it doesn't hurt to be prepared and safe. They have been on their guard since they won the arab war. Who wouldn't when they are surrounded by their perceived enemies.
