With respect, is that a serious question? To the best of my knowledge, this is the first incident of its kind in what must be thousands of pushback/taxying/landing events for the A350. Consequently, my first thought was the pavement in Tel Aviv. Not only that, and I'm not a civil engineer with knowledge of how asphalt or concrete aircraft movement surfaces and their substrates react to stress, but the fact that the pushback in Tel Aviv is significantly faster than any I've experienced elsewhere might have been a factor. Standing by to be corrected by the civil engineers out there.
