The Israeli government has directed domestic airlines to prohibit Israeli citizens from boarding repatriation flights intended for those stranded abroad.
This measure follows assessments by security officials who raised concerns about potential overcrowding at Ben-Gurion Airport and the elevated risk of mass casualties among departing passengers.
Meanwhile, several explosions have been reported in Tehran amid a series of warnings from Israel, cautioning residents of the Iranian capital about impending military strikes.
In retaliation, Iran has launched a renewed barrage of ballistic missile attacks targeting Israeli cities, including Tel Aviv and Haifa, resulting in the deaths of at least eight individuals. These strikes occurred just hours after the Israeli military conducted another round of air raids on Tehran.

The casualty toll from Israel’s recent operations in Iran has exceeded 220, among them at least 70 women and children. Notably, the head of intelligence for Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and two additional generals were among those killed in Sunday’s Israeli attacks.
UN nuclear watchdog chief Rafael Grossi says there is no sign of further damage at Iran’s Natanz or Fordow enrichment sites following Israel’s attacks.
Moreover, Israel has continued its attacks across Gaza. At least 48 people have been killed since dawn, including 33 Palestinians waiting for aid, Gaza health authorities say.
