Flights disrupted at Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport as rockets fired from Gaza
In a tragic turn of events, air traffic at Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv has been disrupted as rockets were fired from Gaza, prompting sirens to go off in central Israel. The incident led to at least six civilian flights being redirected, causing chaos and uncertainty for travelers.
Hamas’ armed wing, the Qassam Brigades, claimed responsibility for the rocket barrage towards Tel Aviv, citing Israel’s ongoing attacks on Gaza as the reason for their actions. This latest escalation in violence marks the second flight disruption of the day, following an earlier rocket launched towards the airport by Yemen’s Houthis.
According to reports from The Times of Israel, a rocket attack on central Israel that was claimed by Hamas did not result in any injuries, although the situation remains tense and volatile. The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas has resulted in countless casualties and widespread destruction, with no end in sight to the cycle of violence.
Al Jazeera’s Nour Odeh provided updates on the situation from Amman, shedding light on the dire circumstances faced by both Israeli and Palestinian civilians. As the world watches, hopes for peace and resolution seem increasingly distant as the conflict continues to escalate.
The incident at Ben Gurion Airport serves as a stark reminder of the impact of violence and conflict on innocent lives, disrupting daily routines and causing fear and uncertainty. The international community must come together to push for a peaceful resolution to the crisis, as the people of Israel and Gaza continue to suffer in the crossfire of a seemingly endless cycle of violence.
