Flights at Israel’s Ramon Airport resumed on Wednesday following a temporary suspension due to an earthquake in the southern Eilat region. The Geological Survey of Israel reported that a magnitude 4.5 earthquake struck approximately 30 kilometers south of Eilat at 11:24 a.m. local time.
As a precautionary measure, airport operations were halted to conduct thorough safety inspections and infrastructure checks. After completing these assessments, authorities confirmed that the airport was safe and had returned to full operation.
Despite the earthquake’s impact on Ramon Airport, Israel’s main international airport, Ben Gurion near Tel Aviv, remained unaffected and continued normal operations.
