The Ministry of Transport announced the closure “until further notice,” citing safety concerns for passengers and aircraft. All public events across the country have also been suspended under emergency orders from the IDF Home Front Command. Citizens are instructed to stay near shelters and avoid non-essential travel.
Airlines have begun canceling flights into and out of Israel, with thousands of passengers stranded abroad or forced to rebook through third countries. The Transport Ministry said updates on reopening the skies will be issued no less than six hours in advance.
