An Iranian passenger plane has landed at the airport in Beirut after almost colliding with a fighter jet that came close to the passenger plane in the airspace over Syria.


The pilot in the passenger plane had to make a sharp change in altitude to avoid a collision, and several passengers were injured, according to Reuters.

Information says it is an Israeli fighter, while other sources talk about American fighter jets.

The airport now announces that all passengers have left the plane, some with minor injuries.
