Exceptions are made for seven flights to destinations in the United States and they are allowed to take off from Ben Gurion Airport, the Ynet news site reports.
However, other scheduled flights remain grounded, baggage carousels are halted, and long queues don’t appear to be moving at the airport, as the strike continues past 10 a.m. when services were originally planned to restart.
