Collection of Press Photographs – Operation "Tshura" – Aircrafts Ruins in the Beirut International Airport, 1968
Eleven large press photographs, documenting the results of IDF operation "Tshura". Beirut, 1968.
Operation "Tshura", in December 1968, by Special Forces commando units of IDF (Sayeret Matkal and paratroopers), was a response to a number of attacks on "El-Al" airplanes in the same year. Since the attackers were trained and sent from Lebanon, it was decided to attack the Beirut International Airport. On the night of 28.12.1968 a force commanded by Raphael Eitan landed in Beirut and bombed fourteen airplanes belonging to Lebanese airlines.
The photographs document scenes from the attack and from the following day: a burning passenger airplane, a fighter aircraft flying over the airport, destroyed airplanes and equipment and more.
Press information notes (English) are pasted to the back of the photographs, alongside ink-stamps of news agencies: Associated Press Photo and United Press International (UK) Ltd.
Approx. 25X20.5 cm. Good condition. Stains (mostly to margins and to back of photographs). Slight defects. Small label with caption on the reverse of each photograph.
