In an attempt to contribute towards protesting against Russia's invasion of Ukraine, an Israeli airport worker was spotted waving the Ukrainian flag towards a Russian plane at the Tel Aviv airport.
An incident of the video was shared on Reddit which has now gone viral on social media.
The unidentified man in the video is seen wearing a high-visibility vest worn by the ground crews. He is standing near what appears to be a terminal, waving the blue and yellow bicolour flag as the rest of the workers look on.?
The video shows the exterior of the cockpit which bears the Russian flag.?One of the persons with his back to the aircraft is filming the airport worker who has now been suspended for trolling the Russian pilots, according to Kan.?
The video was posted by the r/Damnthatsinteresting subreddit.
¡°At the Tel Aviv airport, Russian aircraft are signaled with the flag of Ukraine.¡± reads the caption of the post that has now been upvoted over 33,800 times.?
The video led to the conversation around why Russian planes are still operating in Israel.?
A user asked, ¡°Why are Russian planes still allowed to land there?¡±,?
However, due to Israel's ongoing conflict with Palestine led to a user asking,?¡°Would be funnier if the Russian was waving a small Palestinian flag."
Russia has closed its airspace to 36 countries in retaliation for the sanctions imposed on it ever since the country invaded Ukraine.?27 of these are reportedly European nations, as per an announcement by the Russian Federal Air Transport Agency Rosaviatsiya.
