Scholz forced to lie on ground at airport as air raid siren sounds while boarding plane
Air raid sirens rang out earlier today at Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv as German Chancellor Olaf Scholz was boarding a flight to depart Israel.
The entire delegation was forced to get off the plane and lie on the tarmac, covering their heads, as per protocol.
#Raketenalarm in Tel Aviv. Die Regierungsmaschine wird umgehend evakuiert. @Bundeskanzler wird in einen Schutzraum gebracht. Wir legen uns vor dem Flugzeug auf den Boden. @robinalexander_ @frautoroxel pic.twitter.com/OTWV55KUoA
