Prior to landing, the plane had been escorted into Israeli airspace by two F-16 fighter jets. The military pilots assessed the damage and reported one of the aircraft’s back left tyres had been blown out.
After circling in a holding pattern to shed fuel, the Boeing 737-400 plane touched down at 4.25 PM local time, using engine braking to keep pressure off the tyres.
No injuries were reported as passengers began disembarking on the tarmac.
