"Only hours after the Liberty arrived it was spotted by the Israeli military. The IDF sent out reconnaissance planes to identify the ship.
"They made eight trips over a period of three hours.
"The Liberty was flying a large US flag and was easily recognizable as an American vessel.
"A few hours later more planes came.
"These were Israeli Mirage III fighters, armed with rockets and machine guns.
"As off-duty officers sunbathed on the deck, the fighters opened fire on the defenseless ship with rockets and machine guns."
