Last week, a heavy rocket barrage was fired toward central Israel just as an Arkia Israeli Airlines plane was about to land at Ben Gurion Airport. In a viral video documenting the dramatic landing, the plane can be seen approaching the runway, while in the background rockets and Iron Dome intercepting missiles illuminate the sky. In an interview with Ynet, pilot Eyal Birk recounted the stressful moments before landing.
