Undeterred by the overnight attack from Iran that saw Israeli airspace closed for a number of hours, Israelis flock to Ben Gurion Airport to take flights for the upcoming Passover holiday.
While today was expected to see some 52,000 passengers take 380 flights, the cancellations by a number of airlines means that only around 30,000 people will travel from the airport over the course of the day, financial outlet The Marker reports.
