Spanish airline Vueling forcibly removed the director of a Jewish summer camp and approximately 50 children from a flight, according to footage shared on social media Wednesday.

According to Diaspora Affairs and Combatting Antisemitism Minister Amichai Chikli, the children, aged between 10-15, were singing songs in Hebrew on the plane.

Chikli alleged that the camp director was arrested in a "serious" antisemitic incident.

Vueling has not commented on their reason for removing the camp director, or the children, from the flight.

The children, all from France, are currently in Valencia, awaiting return to France, Chikli claimed.
