Sounds like the tire failed? Not much to see here. Sometimes they'll let them continue on, depends on how much ground support and parts they have at the destination.
You have to land here or there. Take your pick.

Ambulances standing by at Ben-Gurion Airport now awaiting emergency return of plane due to wheel malfunction.

The Flight number is LY 2521, not 73.

Just made a low pass along the main runway.

Those wide body planes have a lot of redundancy, multiple sets of tires in the landing gear, so in all likelihood no one onboard would feel a difference, but it's better to be safe than sorry.

Doing another low pass at 4,000 feet past the tower right now.

Probably doing a fly by with the gear down so ATC can look at the damage. Hopefully nothing serious.

9 mph winds

are they dumping fuel also ?

All in a day's work. Yawn....

No, not over the airport.

Doing a third fly-by now.

Might as well burn the fuel with the gear down, to get below the max landing weight.

3,500 feet and descending now, turning over Jordan.

Probably lining up for a ten-mile final.

Altitude 2,500, still descending, lined up on the runway.
