Wow, talk about bad and good luck at the same time:
"En route to the target, the Israeli strike squadron crossed the gulf of Aqaba at an altitude of only 100 feet and in complete radio silence to avoid detection. In a potentially disastrous stroke of bad luck, the Israeli warplanes flew, unknowingly, directly over the yacht of King Hussein of Jordan, who was vacationing in the Gulf at the time. Taking into account the location, bearing, and armament of the Israeli planes Hussein quickly deduced the Iraqi reactor to be the most probable target. Hussein immediately contacted his government and ordered a warning to be sent to the Iraqis. However, due to a communication failure the message was never received and the Israeli strike team entered Iraqi air space undetected."
