Israel Closes Northern Airspace Following Attacks

Israel has closed its airspace from Hadera northward for 24 hours, affecting civil aviation but allowing emergency flights. This closure follows the assassination of Fuad Shukr, a high-ranking Hezbollah commander, and the reported killing of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran. The Israeli military emphasized that they are prepared for potential escalations, although they do not seek war. In response to Haniyeh's death, Hamas officials have vowed retaliation, prompting heightened tensions in the region. The Airports Authority issued the airspace closure independently, citing security concerns. Meanwhile, the Iranian government is investigating the circumstances surrounding Haniyeh's assassination and has condemned the act.
