A pair of Israeli Air Force fighter jets was scrambled to escort a commercial flight from Warsaw to Tel Aviv a short while ago, after the military received a report of “lack of contact with the aircraft,” the IDF says.
The LOT Polish Airlines flight, operated by Electra Airways, returned on its path over the Mediterranean Sea, according to flight tracking data.
The IDF says that “contact with the aircraft has been restored” and the incident has concluded.
“There is no fear of a security incident,” the military adds.
