Dozens of Jewish children and teens en route to summer camp were removed from a flight in Spain, and their chaperone was reportedly assaulted by police— after airline staff allegedly called Israel a “terrorist state.”

The incident occurred aboard a Vueling flight scheduled to depart from Valencia. According to reports, the disturbance began while the plane was still on the tarmac.

While waiting for takeoff, the youth group began singing songs in Hebrew — an act that reportedly angered the flight crew.

Members of the Vueling staff allegedly shouted at the children, calling Israel a “terrorist state,” and demanded they stop singing.

Even after the children complied, police boarded the aircraft and forced the group off the plane.

According to a report by the aviation blog View from the Wing, police instructed passengers to place their cell phones on the floor, telling them they were not allowed to record the children’s removal from the aircraft.

When the camp’s director — a young woman — challenged the legality of that demand, she was tackled to the ground and handcuffed.

A video circulating on social media shows the woman being forcibly restrained by officers as she pleads for help, while they handcuff her behind her back.

Some reports indicate she was physically assaulted during the arrest.

“The woman who was arrested and beaten is the director of the Kinneret summer camp. Fifty Jewish French children, aged 10 to 15, were singing Hebrew songs on the plane. The @vueling airline crew said that Israel is a terrorist state and forced the children off the aircraft; they are now in Valencia, waiting to return to France,” Diaspora Affairs Minister Amichai Chikli wrote on X.

“In line with Hamas’s campaign of lies echoed by Al Jazeera, Haaretz, and others, we are seeing numerous severe antisemitic incidents recently; this is one of the most serious,” he added.

Vueling, which is owned by British Airways, has refused to comment on the incident.
