According to local media reports from Hungary, two IAF spy planes were detected over Hungary’s international airport. It appears the planes were laden with state-of-the-art surveillance equipment, and the mission was connected to the assassination of a Syrian citizen in Hungary on Wednesday.
A state official told the media the planes were involved in a “diplomatic mission”, and Hungarian Foreign Ministry officials have not released any official statements, apparently unwilling to comment.
A Syrian in his 50s was assassinated in Budapest while driving in his vehicle. He was shot and the assassin reportedly made off with a black briefcase from the vehicle. His identity has not yet been published.
According to media reports, the planes made their way to the eastern European country via Turkey, Bulgaria and Romania.
Further details will be published as they become available to YWN Israel.

How can they prove or report that they were IAF planes? I doubt that they had the Israeli insignia on them
Who’s identity, the assassin’s or the Syrian?
Given that Hungary is a member of NATO, any Israeli planes in Hungarian airspace would either have to be cleared with NATO, or would trigger an NATO air defense reaction (NATO fighters would intercept it). The part about the Israeli raid being conducted with Turkish permission is extraordinarily doubtful as Turkey and Israel aren’t getting along very well this month. This “news” account should be regarded as probable hoax.

your probably right in that the planes flew without markings. possibly the nato countries thought they were nato planes . i wouldnt put much into their ability to track their very own without the usa participation.if every terrorist would know that his name and makeup is coded and he is a marked man, their would be a real drop of world wide terrorism.some of the real fruit cakes would not wake up in time to realize , he or she are marked people.
*UPDATE*
Hungarian TV channel HirTV claims that the Israel Defense Ministry Spokesman has confirmed that a so-called ‘Hercules’ type cargo aircraft had approached Budapest Airport, and that IAF planes regularly enter Hungarian airspace.
The statements contradict Magyar Nemzet’s claim.
HirTV also claimed that Israeli Ambassador to Hungary Aliza Bin-Noun had referred to the planes as reconnaissance jets but denied the term ’spy planes’.
The National Transport Authority declined to comment on the purpose of the Wednesday incursion.
