Israeli fighter jets scrambled to intercept a\u00a0Wizz Air<\/a>\u00a0flight from\u00a0London<\/a>\u00a0to\u00a0Tel Aviv<\/a>\u00a0after a child renamed his parents\u2019 phone Wi-Fi hotspot to the word \u2018terrorist\u2019.<\/p>\n

The plane was flying from\u00a0Luton<\/a>\u00a0to Ben-Gurion airport on Sunday afternoon when panic engulfed the cabin.<\/p>\n

A passenger reportedly spotted what appeared to be a threatening message on a mobile phone belonging to an ultra-Orthodox couple, Israeli media reports.<\/p>\n

The crew informed the control tower at Ben-Gurion Airport and they sent fighter jets to escort the plane.<\/p>\n

A \u2018security incident\u2019 unfolded after the plane took off from London Luton<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

However the security threat turned out to be the name of a Wi-Fi hotspot.<\/p>\n

The couple\u2019s son had changed the name of the access point\u00a0on his parents\u2019 phone to \u2018terrorist\u2019 before they boarded the flight, Israeli media reports.<\/p>\n

Passenger Desi Miller told\u00a0Mako<\/a>\u00a0that they noticed the plane looping in the air before fighter jets began circling the plane.<\/p>\n

The Wizz Air plane landed safely in\u00a0Israel<\/a>\u00a0before security personnel checked all passengers.<\/p>\n

Desi Miller added: \u2018The first thing we noticed upon landing was the number of police officers and security forces waiting for us \u2014 it was a very stressful moment.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u2018There were dozens of police officers, and that\u2019s when serious panic began among the passengers.\u2019<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Airports Authority said: \u2018Due to suspicion of suspicious behavior on the plane, security forces acted according to the procedures for such a case. The incident ended. The plane landed and it was found that there was no actual incident.\u2019<\/p>\n

A Wizz Air Spokesperson said:\u00a0\u2018Wizz Air can confirm that flight W95301 from London Luton to Tel Aviv Ben Gurion landed safely. The safety of our passengers and crew is our utmost priority; for further information, please reach out to the relevant Israeli\u00a0authorities.\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
