Ben-Gurion Airport Sees Cancellations After Israel Strikes Hezbollah Military Sites
Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon triggered disruptions at the country’s primary airport, with flights delayed and passengers stranded

Hezbollah planned on Sunday to launch a massive attack of more than 6,000 rockets targeting the heart of Tel Aviv in retaliation for the killing of Fuad Shukr, a leading Hezbollah commander. Israel pre-empted the attack, striking major Hezbollah military assets in Lebanon. Several rocket launchers and other military assets in Lebanon were targeted, though Hezbollah claimed it still managed to fire 320 rockets and drones at Israeli territory.
As these attacks unfolded, Israel’s Airports Authority closed Ben Gurion International Airport at 5 am, reopening it two hours later. Passengers were urged to check the status of their flights.
