TEL AVIV (dpa)
Israel has once again closed its airspace amid fears of further escalation following US strikes on nuclear facilities in Iran.
The Israeli aviation authority announced on Sunday that, due to the current security situation, all arrivals and departures are suspended. Passengers were advised to check with their airlines for updates.
However, land crossings to Egypt and Jordan remain open as usual, the authority added.
Israel had initially closed its airspace immediately after launching attacks on Iran on June 13. Since then, however, a limited number of special flights have been allowed to operate at Tel Aviv's airport, primarily to bring stranded Israelis home and evacuate foreign nationals.
