Israel scrambles warplanes in airspace after Egyptian plane hijack
Gaza City - MENA
The Israel Air Force scrambled fighter jets after learning of the hijacked Egyptian civilian airliner to prevent the possibility of an intrusion into Israeli air space, an Israeli army spokeswoman said on Tuesday.
After the hijacked plane landed in Cyprus, the jets returned to base, The Jerusalem Post reported.
Israeli diplomats have said it is unlikely that there are Israelis on board the flight.
An Egyptair domestic flight from Alexandria to Cairo was hijacked on Tuesday and landed in Cyprus, Egyptian officials said.
After the EgyptAir plane landed at Larnaca airport, the hijacker released seven, EgyptAir said.

Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
