Exclusive footage published by Israeli news outlet N12 shows suspects cursing and attacking police officers on a plane at Ben Gurion Airport. The documentation provides new details of the altercation, according to journalist Dan Fisher.
Exclusive video footage released Friday night by N12 provides the first visual documentation of the violent altercation aboard a passenger plane at Ben Gurion Airport, showing suspects cursing and attacking police officers. The footage, reported by journalist Dan Fisher, confirms earlier accounts of the incident that unfolded Friday evening.
Reports published at 20:27 Jerusalem detailed the sequence: three central Israel residents in their 20s were arrested after rioting on a plane, refusing to disembark, and attacking police officers, who were evacuated for medical treatment. Subsequent reports added that the suspects shouted 'May you have an October 7' — a reference to the 2023 Hamas attacks — and confirmed the incident occurred on a flight prior to takeoff.
The Zioneer previously reported on a separate violent clash at Ben Gurion Airport on June 26 over luggage delays, but this incident is distinct and involved passengers on a plane.
The identities of the suspects and the airline have not been officially confirmed. The investigation is ongoing.
