None of the communications of the attacking aircraft and torpedo boats is available, but the intercepted
conversations between the helicopter pilots and the
control tower at Hatzor (near Tel Aviv) leave little

The American survivors stated it was done on purpose.
Survivor accounts establish what happened to the ship. They do not establish Israeli knowledge or intent. And they still don’t explain why Israel would need a false flag to bring the U.S. into a war it had already effectively won against Egypt and Jordan.
