According to a report by Israel's Channel 12 television, tensions arose at the airport as Israelis with tickets were unable to leave the country after flights were limited to 100 people yesterday. After the cancellation of this decision, which allowed 200 passengers instead of 100 to board some flights, Israelis who had purchased tickets to leave the country and went to Ben Gurion Airport were unable to board. When the Israelis who could not leave the country were informed that they would not be able to board the plane, chaos erupted at the airport, and police teams were directed to the scene.
