Exclamation El Al Diverted from YYZ Oct. 23
Just heard on CBC radio that El Al flight to Toronto was diverted by Canadian authorities for undisclosed security concerns.

It landed in Montreal and then Hamilton.

Hamilton is about a one hour drive from Toronto depending very much on traffic.

More details in Ha'aretz

The return flight was also diverted to Hamilton due to the same security threat.

There seem to be two stories: one re Croatia (in Ha'aretz) and one re Canada:
