The saga surrounding the El Al flight 002 from New York to Israel has not subsided.
Yisrael Hayom reported Tuesday in an exclusive report that the shomrei Shabbos passengers on the infamous flight from New York to Israel on Friday demanded that the company pay NIS 50,000 ($13,000) to each of the 180 shomrei Shabbos passengers who were on board the plane, and to refund the cost of the flight to each passenger.
In addition to the financial compensation, the passengers demand a public announcement from the company that there were no violent incidents on the part of the shomrei Shabbos passengers, and that the rumors circulated after the flight were totally unfounded.
