Israel's Ben Gurion Airport Reopens After Hezbollah Threat; El Al Resumes Flights
Aug 25, 2024, 04:23 AM
Israel's Ben Gurion Airport has resumed operations after a brief suspension due to a thwarted attack from Hezbollah. The Israeli Defense Forces successfully countered the threat, allowing the airport to reopen at 7:00 a.m. local time, 0400 GMT. El Al Airlines, Israel's largest airline, has announced the resumption of its flight schedule, with flights previously diverted now returning to Ben Gurion. The closure lasted less than two hours, indicating that Israeli authorities assess the immediate threat as neutralized. The airport's return to normal activity underscores the effectiveness of Israel's pre-emptive strikes in southern Lebanon, which were aimed at preventing a large-scale Hezbollah attack.
