Israel flight forced to turn back after soldier with PTSD from time in Gaza assaults crew ( www.middleeastmonitor.com )

A flight operated by Israeli airline El Al bound for Georgia had to return and land after a passenger, claiming to suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder due to time in the ongoing genocide in Gaza, attacked cabin crew.

El Al issued a statement regarding the flight which departed from Tel Aviv and was heading to Tbilisi, stating that “there was an unusual incident of a passenger who behaved violently towards El Al staff.”

The aircraft returned to Tel Aviv “in order to drop off the passenger in coordination with the Israel Police.”

A female passenger aboard the flight informed Channel 12 that the incident began approximately an hour after takeoff when the man brought out medical cannabis from his bag and began shouting.
