A video of a passenger plane landing at Israel’s main airport, while next to it an anti-missile system shoots down Hamas rockets, has gone viral on the Internet.
Israeli television showed footage of a plane approaching Ben Gurion Airport, while the Iron Dome anti-missile system shoots down rockets from the Gaza Strip in the night sky.
Most international airlines canceled their flights to Israel for security reasons after October 7th, when the conflict between Israel and Hamas began.

Thousands of rockets by the Palestinian group Hamas have been launched into Israeli territory in the past two months, including in the direction of the airport.
Despite this, the Israeli airline El Al continues to fly to and from Tel Aviv. That company was the first to equip passenger planes with anti-missile systems two decades ago.
