The crisis in the Middle East is increasing tension across Europe. Air traffic at Hamburg airport was suspended from 12:40 pm today, following the threat of an attack on board a plane that landed at 12:20 pm and coming from Tehran. The information was reported by an airport spokeswoman cited by the German news agency Dpa. There were 198 passengers and 16 crew members on board the plane. Everyone left the aircraft, which was placed in a special area of the airport. Security checks are being carried out on everyone, police said. Luggage in the hold is searched. Police received an email threatening an attack on board the plane. A threat that is taken very seriously, it should be noted.
Air traffic was severely restricted: “Due to a measure by the Federal Police, takeoffs and landings are not possible for a short period. Flight delays may occur,” warns the German city’s airport website.
Following the Hamas attacks on Israel last Saturday, security measures were reinforced in Rome against Israeli targets considered sensitive in the capital. This is the decision taken by Police Headquarters after the new crisis in the Middle East began. Maximum attention to the Jewish ghetto, the synagogue and the embassy of the Jewish State in the capital.
