A military plane repatriated 199 Dutch people from Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv on Wednesday. The plane could not land immediately. On approach, air traffic control steered the plane away because the airport was under fire. Passengers told how they had to lie on the ground at and near the airport. Israeli defenses averted the danger. The Defense plane landed at the military air base in Eindhoven at 10:10 p.m. with the 199 Dutch on board. They are men, women, and children, including 28 pupils from the 4VWO and their four teachers from Rotterdam and Gouda.
