Was the damage to an Israir plane in London this weekend intentional? A flight from London to Tel Aviv was delayed and canceled last Friday after a service vehicle hit the plane.
Following the impact, an investigation was required to examine the fault in the plane, which led to the cancellation of the flight and disruptions to passengers' schedules.
Some passengers were transferred to hotels and some waited for a flight later that day.
Sabbath-observing passengers were forced to wait in London until today (Sunday) for another flight to Israel.
According to a report on Channel 12, this is the third time in less than a year that a British service vehicle from one of the service providers at London Airport has hit an Israir plane.
In light of this, concerns arose among Israeli officials that this was an incident with nationalist undertones.
Senior officials in the aviation world indicate that there is suspicion that the damage to the plane was intentional following the series of incidents.
Israel is currently examining possible courses of action with local authorities. Official requests have already been made to the aviation authorities in London and England with the aim of finding a solution.
According to the passengers, the accident caused them to wait inside the plane without air conditioning for about an hour. They then turned off the plane and waited another hour, until the flight was finally canceled.
