Hi ya.
There are two notes about EL AL in the news.
1.) Near miss at Ben Gurion.

El Al pilot accidentally takes sleeping pill during flight - Haaretz - Israel News
After he mistakenly took a sleeping pill in flight instead of a blood pressure medication, the captain of a ELAL 737 became disorientated and fell shortly a sleep. With the help from a cabin crew member, he was removed from the flight deck, while the copilot took over control. After a while, the captain recovered and returned to the cockpit. The flight landed safely at Kiev.
I´m real curios, if we will see in the near future the public release of an incident report from the Israeli CAA, esp. about the near miss.
