Israel’s Airports Authority said the country’s airspace has reopened for emergency flights after closing earlier due to an hourslong barrage of missiles from Iran on Tuesday.
Some flights were forced to circle over the Mediterranean Sea, according to Israeli media.
Israel reopened its airspace at around 8:40am local time (05:40 GMT) after briefly closing it for three hours, reports various news sources.
Although the situation on the ground is very fragile, with the ceasefire between Iran and Israel now in effect, there is an opportunity for the two sides to step back after 12 days of intense fighting.
The latest statement from the Israeli Magen David services, the emergency services, Al Jazeera reports, are now confirming four dead, two with moderate injuries, and 20 with light injuries, especially from that missile strike that struck a building and caused damage.
In a statement, Israel’s military says its fighter jets have attacked missile launchers in western Iran that were primed to be fired at Israel, and has shared footage. The situation is developing still.
The number of people killed from the latest Iranian strike on Israel’s Beersheba has risen to four, and at least eight other people were reported injured, with two of them taken to a hospital for treatment.
