Ben Gurion Airport Reopens After Five-Day Closure Following Iran Tensions

Tel Aviv. Israel's main airport, Ben Gurion Airport, has resumed operations after a five-day closure. The airport was shut down after Israel and the United States initiated a joint military strike against Iran.

The first flight carrying Israeli citizens stranded abroad landed here on Thursday morning. Israeli airlines are preparing to gradually repatriate approximately 100,000 Israelis who were stuck overseas.

These citizens were unable to return after Israel closed its airspace on Saturday. Israeli authorities have decided to partially reopen the airspace in phases after assessing the security situation.
