An El Al repatriation flight arriving from Los Angeles and preparing for landing at Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport was delayed due to the latest rocket and missile attack alert from Iran.
Following the Iranian ballistic missile attack on central Israel, fragments reportedly landed in some areas.
The El Al flight circled in the air for about half an hour as the runway was checked for fragments. After the runway was cleared, the aircraft bringing Israelis back home from Los Angeles touched down safely at Ben Gurion at around 11:00 am.
