An El Al flight from Israel to Warsaw was forced to make an emergency landing Monday morning at Ben-Gurion International Airport after experiencing a technical problem.

The pilot alerted air-traffic controllers that he needed to return to the airport and safely landed the plane. Ambulances and emergency vehicles were rushed to the site, and the airport declared a state of emergency, delaying all arrivals and departures.

No injuries were reported among the airplane’s 138 passengers.
