This Video Does Not Depict Crowds at Ben Gurion Airport After the Iranian Attack on Israel

Misbar investigated the claim and found it to be misleading. The video in question is old and does not show footage of congestion at Ben Gurion Airport in the aftermath of the Iranian attack on Israel.

Congestion at Ben Gurion Airport Following Operation Al-Aqsa Flood

The video was posted on social media on October 8, 2023, purportedly depicting the queues of travelers at Ben Gurion Airport after Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.

Furthermore, media outlets documented on Sunday, October 8, 2023, that Israeli authorities issued an aviation safety warning applicable to all flight altitudes.

Additionally, many airlines canceled their flights to Tel Aviv via Ben Gurion Airport due to ongoing clashes between Palestinian resistance factions and the Israeli occupation army.

Global Airlines Suspend Flights to Israel After Iranian Attack

Following Iran's attack on Israel on the evening of April 13, in response to Israel's targeting of the Iranian consulate in Damascus earlier in April, some airlines decided to suspend flights to Tel Aviv, despite Israel reopening its airspace.

On Tuesday, April 16, the British airline EasyJet announced the suspension of its flights to Tel Aviv for the entire summer season until next October. This decision came after the airline canceled all its flights from Israel to European countries due to heightened tension in the Middle East.

Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS) also announced the suspension of its flights to and from Tel Aviv until further notice. Furthermore, Air India has temporarily suspended its flights to Israel.

Regional tensions continue to escalate as Israel pledges to retaliate against Iran's extensive missile attacks and drone strikes.
