JERUSALEM (Reuters) -- A Jordanian plane suffered a tire puncture upon landing at an airport in southern Jordan on Tuesday, an Israeli rescue service said revising an earlier report that the plane had crashed.
"This was not a crash. The plane's tire burst and the ruckus appeared like a crash," a spokesman for ZAKA told Reuters when asked about the incident near Aqaba, on Jordan's border with Israel.
Jordanian airport officials said it was a cargo plane.
