Night of the Gliders: Two Palestinian Arab militant guerillas infiltrate into Israel from South Lebanon using hang gliders to launch a surprise attack against IDF soldiers. One of the gliders lands in the security zone, and the guerilla is later tracked down and killed by Israeli troops. The second manages to land in a field east of Kiryat Shmona, near the "Gibor" helipad, and succeeds in killing six soldiers and wounding eight before he was shot and killed by an Israeli officer who had been wounded.
