Emergency Landing in Saudi Arabia

The rescue flight carrying the passengers landed safely at Ben Gurion Airport following a dramatic sequence of events. The flight, en route from Dubai to Israel, triggered a distress signal that prompted an emergency diversion to Saudi Arabia and the scrambling of air force jets.

"We experienced a major trauma, but we are happy to be back home," one of the passengers said upon arrival at the terminal.
