An Austrian Airlines flight en route from Tel Aviv to Vienna made an emergency landing in Sofia, Bulgaria, on Tuesday following an anonymous tip about a bomb on board. The aircraft landed safely, and all passengers and crew were evacuated. Authorities are currently investigating the threat and searching the plane. This incident occurs shortly after two separate anonymous bomb threats were made against Delta Airlines flights from New York to Israel last week, which were later determined to be false alarms. The event also follows a recent incident involving a Flydubai plane, where an Omani pilot allegedly attempted to hijack the aircraft with the intention of crashing it into sensitive targets in Israel.
