Israel is expected to gradually open up its airspace starting this evening.

The Home Front Command says air traffic will resume in a “controlled, monitored, and coordinated manner,” and in accordance with a situational assessment.

Israel’s skies have been closed since the start of the conflict with Iran on Saturday morning.
