Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion Airport was closed until further notice, and Israel's air defense forces remain on high alert for potential retaliatory strikes from Iran. Israeli flag carrier El Al Airlines announced it had suspended flights to and from Israel and was relocating some aircraft out of the country. Israir Airlines also stated it was evacuating planes from Tel Aviv and anticipated the airport would remain closed through the weekend. Many global airlines had already suspended flights to and from Tel Aviv after a missile launched by Yemen's Houthi rebels landed near the airport on May 4. (With inputs from Reuters)
