On 13 May, El Al flight LY332 from Brussels, Belgium, to Tel Aviv, Israel, was forced to enter a holding pattern East of Tel Aviv as rockets were fired towards and exploded above the city of Tel Aviv. After one hour into the holding pattern, the Boeing 737 (registered 4X-EHC) diverted to Eilat Ramon Airport, the country’s second-biggest airport. A passenger was able to film the frightening scene.
