Police arrested three suspects in their 20s from central Israel at Ben Gurion Airport who rioted on a foreign airline plane shortly before takeoff and attacked officers. The flight crew reported that the three posed a danger to passengers on the plane during preparations for takeoff. The suspects refused to disembark at the officers’ request, who according to the police statement “were forced to use reasonable force,” were attacked, and were evacuated for medical treatment. The three will be brought tomorrow to a court hearing to extend their detention.
