Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has directed a comprehensive review of all security measures for foreign civil flights to Israel. This decision comes after an attack on a FlyDubai aircraft en route to Tel Aviv occurred on Wednesday.

Two U.S. aerial refueling planes were observed on the tarmac at Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv, coinciding with the day of the attack. The presence of these military aircraft underscores heightened security concerns.

Netanyahu’s call for a security review highlights the importance of ensuring passenger safety and preventing similar incidents. The review will examine current protocols and identify necessary improvements to protect flights into Israel.

The incident has brought significant attention to the safety of international flights in the region. Authorities are expected to collaborate to address potential vulnerabilities and enhance protections for civilian air travel.
