The damaged plane arriving from Germany has landed safely at Ben Gurion Airport, with a flat tire.
Prior to landing, the Boeing 737-400 circled over the Mediterranean to jettison fuel and reduce its weight.

The Israeli Air Force sent jets up to meet and inspect the plane, and reported that the damaged tire was on the back left-hand side of the plane. A Boeing 737-400 has two tires on each side and two more at the front under the nose of the plane.
