A plane carrying an Israeli delegation of 150 students, which was en route to Poland, made an emergency landing in Antalya, Turkey, today (Monday).
The emergency landing was made due to concerns about a technical malfunction in the plane, and out of caution, a decision was made to stop in accordance with aviation rules.
The Ministry of Education announced that "all students are feeling well, staying in a safe and secure area within the airport, and are closely accompanied by the teaching staff who are with them at all times.".
