Israeli anti-aircraft gunners opened fire today at two Egyptian planes that penetrated into the Israeli airspace in the Sinai. An Israeli communique issued this evening said that two Egyptian Sukhoy-7 planes flew over the Israeli position on the eastern side of the Suez Canal at its northern section. This overflight was in violation of the cease-fire. A complaint was lodged with the United Nations observers headquarters in Jerusalem.
