If El Al has countermeasures, maybe this charter company has them too;

Where do you get that El Al has countermeasures?

Flares and commercial airports do not mix.

Gee, I wonder if you could extend the effective range of a "stinger" or similar missle by strapping it to the side of a small private plane flying at 5,000 feet.
They are, after all recoil-less type weapons.
All of a sudden, flight 800 is not out of range anymore, now is it?
And oh, by the way, an explosive that was detonated by a "proximity fuse" would leave no residual traces on the target.
The target would be destroyed by the concusion or "shock" wave.
h-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m - am I the ONLY one to think of this?

El Al aircraft and RR-129A/AL chaff dispensers do.
