Air Force confirms short freeze on flights into Ben Gurion, calls it ‘routine’

The Israeli military confirms it requested that Ben Gurion International Airport temporarily suspend its takeoffs and landings earlier today for a short period. An army spokesperson says it was part of “routine cooperation” between the Air Force and the civilian Israel Aviation Authority.

“It was nothing irregular,” the spokesperson says.
