Israel Hayom published new details on the incident where a window shattered on a passenger flight, including how the passenger was saved.

01 · THE DISPATCH

Israel Hayom published new details Sunday afternoon regarding the rescue of the passenger who was partially sucked out of a Ryanair window mid-flight on Friday. The article, published at 14:52 Jerusalem, provides additional information on how the 61-year-old Serbian man was saved by fellow passengers during the incident over North Macedonia. This update follows the initial reports that emerged on Friday, July 10, at 14:49 Jerusalem.

The Zioneer first reported the incident on Friday, based on an AFP account, describing how a window shattered on a Ryanair flight from Thessaloniki to Memmingen, causing a passenger to be partially ejected. Within minutes, multiple Israeli news outlets, including N12 journalist Assaf Rosenzweig and i24NEWS, confirmed the event, adding that the passenger suffered friction burns but was in good condition. The thread evolved from an unconfirmed report to corroborated accounts from several sources, all published at 14:49 Jerusalem. The passenger was hospitalized after an emergency landing.

As The Zioneer reported on Friday, the incident occurred over North Macedonia, and the window shattered reportedly due to engine debris. Fellow passengers pulled the man back inside, and he was treated for friction burns. The aircraft landed safely in Memmingen, Germany.

The specific details of the rescue published by Israel Hayom have not been independently verified by The Zioneer at this time. The cause of the window shattering remains under investigation.
