Iranian Attacks Damage Three Aircraft at Ben Gurion Airport

SadaNews - The Iranian missile attacks on Israel in recent days have caused damage to three private aircraft at Ben Gurion Airport.

Details indicate that at least one aircraft was completely burned, while no injuries were reported, according to what the Israeli military censorship allowed to be published today, Wednesday.

This is the first time since the start of the war at the end of last month that Iranian missiles or missile fragments have reached inside Israel's largest international airport.

Observers have warned of the dangers of operating "open skies under fire," especially if a civilian passenger aircraft is hit during a phase where evacuation of passengers is not possible.

In light of the damages at Ben Gurion Airport, the Israeli Ministry of Transportation is considering reducing the number of passengers on flights departing from the airport.

Israel typically maintains a high level of secrecy regarding the extent of damages to vital infrastructure and sensitive facilities, including military sites.

This data is subject to strict military censorship, which restricts or delays the publication of details, as part of a policy aimed at reducing the exposure of vulnerabilities and minimizing the moral and media impact of such strikes.

It is noteworthy that in April of last year, a ballistic missile launched by the Houthis fell inside Ben Gurion Airport, injuring several people and causing property damage.

At that time, the Israeli army acknowledged the failure of the interception operation carried out by the "Arrow 3" and American "THAAD" systems due to a "technical malfunction."
