Israeli officials said Sunday that the country's airspace was closed for the third day in a row after Iran launched two nights of deadly missile strikes in response to a military operation by the Israeli military.
A joint statement issued by the Israeli Ministry of Transport and Foreign Affairs said, 'Due to the security situation and in accordance with the instructions of the security authorities, Israeli airspace is currently closed to civil aviation . No incoming or outgoing flights are operating .'
After the Israeli army began attacking military and nuclear targets in Iran, thousands of Israeli citizens have been stranded abroad since Friday, according to the Israeli media.
Iran fired hundreds of ballistic missiles at Israeli cities in retaliation targeting Israel, destroying residential buildings and killing 13 people, including three children.
In a statement issued by the spokesperson of Israel's Airports Authority, Ben Gurion International Airport near Tel Aviv was confirmed to be closed, saying, 'It will be re-opened with at least six hours' notice.'
'The decision to resume flights to Israel will be made only after it is deemed safe,' the statement said.
Meanwhile, Israel's borders with Jordan and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula remain open.
