Anyone know why G-VDIA has just diverted back to LHR on the VS453 LHR-TLV flight?

Having spoken to a friend internally this morning, the flight was subject to a lazer attack on departure from LHR.

By "laser attack" presumably that's some comedian with a laser pointer?
I'm sure that happened a few years ago to a late night departure to NYC.

Technical issue over Paris forced it to return to Heathrow, no mention of a laser incident.
Unsure where that story came from.
