Ben Gurion Airport reopens its airspace after temporarily halting takeoffs and landings following the firing of a ballistic missile from Yemen that impacted an area at the country’s main airport.

The airspace was closed for around an hour.

“Ben Gurion Airport is open for operations,” Israel Airport Authority says in a statement. “Takeoffs and landings have returned to normal.”
