Israeli fighter jets scrambled to intercept a Wizz Air flight from London to Tel Aviv after ‘threatening messages were sent to passengers’.

The plane was flying from Luton to Ben-Gurion airport when the ‘security incident’ unfolded.

At least one passenger received an unusual message that raised fears about an attempt to harm the aircraft.

The crew informed the control tower at Ben-Gurion Airport and they sent fighter jets to escort the plane.
