A plane full of Israelis had to pass by Beirut today

Following the unusual weather, a flight of the Greek Aegean company, from Larnaca to Israel, received an instruction from the control tower to make a turn through the airspace of Lebanon. Thus, for a short time, the plane, with Israelis on it, passed by the Beirut airport, until it re-entered Israel’s airspace in Haifa and landed safely in Israel.

As I rememberin the past there were incidents in which planes with Israelis were forced to make emergency landings, Landed in enemy countries. So for example, After one of the passengers on the flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv had a stroke, the pilot decided to make an emergency landing in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Rom Yosef Gedsi, who was on the plane at the time, recalled: “Arab doctors arrived who boarded the plane wearing a hijab and provided medical treatment to the passenger, these were the moments when I was not sure what was happening around me”.

in the meantime, The Airports Authority issued a statement stating that they are preparing for the extreme weather: “Following the preparedness discussion held by the Director General of the Ministry of Transportation, following the warning of the weather system and storm “Byron”, the Airports Authority is preparing to implement all the procedures required for the operation of the airports,” it was written.

The Airports Authority added that “Due to the unusual weather conditions expected in the coming days, we ask the traveling public to be prepared for possible changes in flight schedules, to follow the updates of the airlines and prepare accordingly. The Airports Authority will continue to update if necessary”.
