An Israeli passenger aircraft was turned back without refueling by staff at Antalya Airport in Turkey.

The incident occurred when the Israeli aircraft made an emergency landing at Antalya airport in southwestern Turkey on Monday (July 1).

Turkish airport workers have protested the mass killing of Israeli forces in the besieged Gaza Strip by refusing to refuel the plane.

It is learned that the flight LY5102 was going to Tel Aviv from Warsaw, the capital of Poland. The flight made an emergency landing at Antalya Airport due to a sick passenger en route.

At that time, the Turkish airport staff refused to supply fuel to the Israeli plane if the plane needed fuel. In this situation, the plane flew to Greece to take fuel oil.

This is what the Israeli media Times of Israel said in a report on Monday.

Meanwhile, Turkish diplomatic sources said otherwise. According to the source, arrangements are made to supply fuel to the aircraft due to humanitarian considerations. However, near the end of the relevant process, the captain of the aircraft decided to leave on his own accord.
