An El Al repatriation flight arriving early this morning from Tbilisi, which was about to land at Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport, was forced to lift back up due to a rocket and missile attack alert.
After about 20 minutes in the air, the aircraft landed safely at Ben Gurion, a passenger aboard the plane told Israel’s Channel 12.
