Israel Closes Airspace in Response to Iranian Drones Attack
Israeli authorities announced the closure of the country's airspace starting from 12:30 am on Sunday (2130 GMT Saturday) following reports of Iranian drones being launched towards Israel directly from Iranian territory.
The Israeli military reported the incident, leading to the decision to shut down the airspace for both international and domestic flights.
The statement released by the Israeli airport authority read, "In accordance with the guidance of the security system, starting at (12:30 am) the airspace of the state of Israel will be closed to international and domestic flights." This measure was taken as a precautionary measure to ensure the safety and security of all aircraft in the region.
The exact reason behind the Iranian drones attack remains unclear at this time.
The closure of Israeli airspace is expected to cause significant disruptions to flights in the region, and travelers are advised to check with their airlines for updates on their flights.
