El Al Israel Airlines says it is offering special flight ticket prices from nearby destinations, Greece and Cyprus, to help Israelis stranded overseas to travel back home after most foreign carriers halted their services to Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport following the ballistic missile from Yemen, which hit an area at Israel’s main international airport.

Starting this evening and until Saturday night, Israel’s flagship carrier is selling one-way flight tickets from Larnaca in Cyprus to Tel Aviv for $99 and from Athens in Greece to Tel Aviv for $149.
