Israel to Gradually Reopen Airspace This Evening in 'Controlled, Monitored Manner'

Israeli authorities announced that the country's airspace will begin gradually reopening this evening in a 'controlled, monitored, and coordinated manner' after being closed since Saturday following the launch of Operation Epic Fury. The reopening signals growing confidence in Israeli air defense capabilities amid ongoing Iranian missile barrages. Airlines have been awaiting the green light to begin repatriation flights for Israeli passengers stranded abroad.
