The Zioneer has learned of a flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv that was forced to turn around mid-air due to missile launches toward Jordan. The aircraft was unable to continue to its destination and turned back, according to reports. The specific missile launches are not detailed in the initial report, but they follow a pattern of disruptions to civilian air traffic in the region.
Earlier this week, a flight from Ethiopia to Tel Aviv was also forced to turn around due to Iranian missile launches toward Jordan, as The Zioneer reported. Another flight was rerouted via Saudi airspace due to the same launches. The ongoing missile activity from Iran toward Jordan has led to repeated flight diversions and safety measures.
The current incident remains under investigation, and no further details on the flight's final landing or passenger status are available.
