Emergency Landing Strands 180 Israeli Students in Turkey

A Polish passenger plane operated by Enter Air, carrying 150 Israeli 12th-grade students, made an emergency landing at Antalya Airport in Turkey due to engine issues. The students, on a trip to Poland to visit concentration camps and learn about the Holocaust, were transported to a secure area at the airport while awaiting a replacement aircraft. Initial attempts to send a second plane also failed due to technical problems, prompting the need for a third rescue flight. The Education Ministry confirmed that all students are safe and being supervised by their teachers. The flight was originally scheduled to depart for Krakow, Poland, later in the day, and the students are reported to be in good health. This incident comes amid heightened tensions in Israeli-Turkish relations following recent conflicts and rising antisemitism in Europe.
