All flights in Iran will remain canceled until tomorrow at 5 a.m. local time, the country’s Civil Aviation Organization announces, according to the semi-official Tasnim news agency, a day after Tehran fired at least 180 missiles at Israel.

Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport was briefly shut and Israeli airspace closed for a little over an hour last night amid the attack.
