Israeli carrier El Al has reportedly installed an anti-missile system on some of its aircraft.

A report by Israel TV - released just days after an alleged plot to fire missiles at an aircraft in Toronto, Canada - claims that the installation of the system on a few aircraft in the fleet is experimental.

However, the airline has declined to comment on the report, claiming that it does not comment on issues related to aircraft or passenger security, The Associated Press reported.
