Since the outbreak of the Hamas-initiated Gaza War on Oct. 7, 2023, airlines have exercised caution in resuming service to Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport. Although many carriers had lifted earlier travel bans, a missile launched by the Houthis from Yemen May 4 – landing near the airport and narrowly missing the main check-in area – prompted several airlines to once again suspend operations to Israel.
