LOS ANGELES—An El Al airline flight carrying shaken passengers arrived at Los Angeles International Airport on Oct. 9 following a tense trip from war-torn Israel, with some expressing relief to be back in the United States while remaining concerned about what they left behind.
The flight arrived at LAX just before 6:30 a.m. Monday, and passengers disembarked under close watch of Airport Police who maintained a heightened presence in the terminal—mirroring stepped-up patrols by police at Jewish and Muslim institutions across the Southland.
