"Fuga" type aircraft
Just call it "Fuga". It is an Israeli made plane. the one in question is a bomber. However, bear in mind that Fouga and Fuga are the same.
New York times refers it as such, as do other reputable civilian and military media.

Operation "Masmer" (Nail)
September, 1964
In Sep. 1964 the IAF commenced operation “Nail”. The operation sought to transfer six disassembled Fuga jet planes and all accompanying equipment. Delivered on a single Boeing 377 Stratocruiser aircraft, the jets were accompanied by Lt. Col. Dani Shapira, a test pilot. In addition, two Dakota aircrafts were brought in, intended for the use of the yet to be established Ugandan paratrooper units. The operation concluded in the middle of the following year.

Personally, I'd say "apparently (their) Fougas"
Yup, that's them.
