Israel’s airspace is expected to reopen at 2 p.m. after a temporary halt of takeoffs and landings this morning following the US attack on Iran, the Transportation Ministry says.
With the reopening of Israeli airspace, the operation for the safe return of stranded Israelis home will continue in full force, the ministry says.
“We continue to act with determination while taking precautions to return all Israeli citizens to their homes,” says Transportation Minister Miri Regev. “This is a complex national security operation that requires close coordination between all agencies, and we will continue to operate until the last Israeli returns home safely.”
