In addition to undercover counter-terrorist personal on the plane (usually 2 to 3), ELAL pilots are all veterans of the Israeli Airforce.
What's more, ELAL planes have systems which allow it to deploy certain means to dodge missiles or rockets coming at it.

It sounds like the threat was on the ground in that specific airport in Toronto.
