Israeli airspace closed until further notice 'due to recent developments'

Israel has closed its airspace until further notice "due to recent developments", the Israel Airports Authority has announced.

"The airspace of the State of Israel is closed to entry and exit due to recent developments," the authority said in a statement, specifying that "land crossing points [with Egypt] and Jordan are operating normally". 

Israel had initially closed its airspace on 13 June after launching its surprise attack on Iran, but reopened it on Friday for flights repatriating Israeli citizens stranded abroad.
