After receiving an anonymous warning about the presence of a bomb on a Delta flight from New York to Tel Aviv, the plane was moved to a place far from the terminal and its passengers were evacuated; Security inspections are ongoing.

Ambassador Arjan-International Group: According to the report of "Channel 12" of the Zionist regime, an American company "Delta Airlines" plane that had flown from the United States to Tel Aviv was directed to a side route at Ben Gurion Airport after receiving an anonymous report about the presence of a bomb inside the plane. The remote parking lot at the airport was moved and all passengers were evacuated from it. Right now, the security teams are inspecting and servicing the plane. Sources of the Zionist regime have claimed that it is possible that this report is false, but they are taking all the necessary measures as a precaution and do not ignore any risk. Meanwhile, it is not yet clear whether this anonymous report was sent from inside the United States or after the plane landed in the occupied territories.

This is not the first time in recent months that planes bound for Israel are at the center of a security incident. Earlier on September 30, Fly Dubai flight FZ1073, which was flying from Dubai to Tel Aviv, after sending an emergency message and suddenly falling about 14,000 feet in less than 30 seconds, changed its route to Tabuk airport in the northwest of Saudi Arabia and landed safely. According to published reports, this incident was caused by a conflict between the pilot and the co-pilot, in which the Omani co-pilot with a cold weapon The Indian captain attacked and tried to divert and crash the plane. 174 passengers of this flight, most of whom were Zionists, were later transferred to Tel Aviv by a replacement plane. Following this incident, "Fly Dubai" suspended its flights to the occupied territories until further notice.

These incidents, in addition to the heavy security costs, are part of the continuous financial burden that has put pressure on the economy of the Zionist regime. Ben-Gurion Airport, as the only international air gateway of this regime, transports more than 25 million passengers every year, and any disruption in its activity will directly affect the economy. In the shadow of recent wars and the suspension of flights by companies such as "Fly Dubai", the number of tourists entering the occupied territories has decreased by more than 90% and heavy damages have been caused to the tourism sector, one of the main pillars of the economy of this regime. This situation, along with increasing defense and security costs, has imposed additional pressure on the budget and economic future of this regime.

The Hebrew media reported that the security alert level at Ben-Gurion Airport has increased; An action that has been carried out at the same time as speculations about the possibility of closing the airspace and transferring the planes.

Emirates, Delta, Lufthansa, Philippines and Air France-KLM announced the suspension, cancellation or postponement of their flights to Riyadh in different time frames.

The suspension of Fly Dubai flights to and from Tel Aviv has been extended until the end of October; The decision was taken after the controversial accident of a plane en route from the Emirates to the occupied territories. While the investigation into the details of this incident continues, Benjamin Netanyahu's security statements about the incident have made it a controversial issue on the eve of the Israeli elections.
