Flights have resumed at Israel’s Ramon Airport after they were temporarily suspended due to an earthquake in the southern Eilat region. The Geological Survey of Israel reported that the earthquake, with a magnitude of 4.5, struck approximately 30 kilometers south of Eilat at 11:24 a.m. local time on Wednesday.
Following the seismic event, airport operations were halted to conduct safety inspections and infrastructure checks. Once these assessments were completed, authorities confirmed that the airport was safe for full operation, allowing flights to resume.
Despite the disruption at Ramon Airport, Israel’s main international airport, Ben Gurion near Tel Aviv, was unaffected by the earthquake and continued its operations without interruption.
