German Chancellor Olaf Scholz was caught in Israel by an air raid alert. He had to lie down on the ground at Ben Gurion Airport with his delegation.
An air raid alert was sounded in Tel Aviv. At that time, Hamas militants attacked the city with rockets, and there were no shelters nearby. The video was posted on Telegram.
As a result, the German delegation was forced to get off the plane and lie down on the ground.
It happened right on the runway for safety reasons. Afterward, Scholz was taken to a shelter. But he still managed to see two air defense explosions.
The plane and car were checked before departure. Later, the plane departed Tel Aviv for Cairo.
By the way, the German Chancellor became the first head of government to visit Israel after the Hamas attack on October 7. He expressed his unwavering solidarity with Israel.
As reported earlier, US President Joe Biden will visit Israel and Jordan. He will travel on Tuesday, October 17, amid an escalation that began ten days ago, to obtain details of the upcoming IDF (Israeli Defense Forces) ground operation against Hamas terrorists and to emphasize the need for humanitarian assistance to the civilian population of Gaza.
As of October 17, the IDF continues its operation to destroy the militants’ military infrastructure in the Gaza Strip and is also fighting back against Lebanese Hezbollah. Several Hamas leaders have already been eliminated, including Osama Mazini, who was responsible for prisoners.
