Israel Reopens Airspace After Temporary Closure
Israa Farhan Israel has reopened its airspace following a temporary closure prompted by recent US airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, as regional tensions continue to rise. According to Israeli media citing the Ministry of Transport, take-offs and landings at Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv resumed from 2:00 PM local time (11:00 GMT) on Sunday. The move comes after a precautionary airspace shutdown that lasted several hours in the wake of the escalating conflict. El Al, Israel's national airline, also said on its website that scheduled flights to and from the country would resume with government authorization. The airspace had initially been closed on 13 June after Israel launched wide-ranging attacks on Iranian military and nuclear targets. Since then, limited flight activity has continued at Ben Gurion Airport, primarily to facilitate the return of Israeli nationals stranded abroad and to assist foreign citizens seeking to leave the country during Iranian retaliatory strikes. Several commercial flights from Tel Aviv to various European destinations were scheduled for Monday. However, no immediate updates were provided on potential changes to flight timetables following the latest developments involving US intervention. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall

Israeli army says bodies of three captives recovered in Gaza - War on Gaza
The Israeli military said Sunday that it had recovered the bodies of three captives in Gaza more than 20 months after they were abducted by Hamas militants. "In a special operation... the bodies of the captives Ofra Keidar, Yonatan Samerano, and Staff Sergeant Shay Levinson were recovered from the Gaza Strip yesterday," the military said in a statement. Samerano's father had announced earlier Sunday that his son's body, which was taken into Gaza after he was killed in a kibbutz in the territory on October 7, 2023, had been recovered by the Israeli army. He paid tribute to "the brave soldiers of the Israeli military and the Shin Bet" security service in a message posted on Instagram. The Israeli campaign group the Hostages and Missing Families Forum described Samerano as "a talented DJ who just wanted to make music, have fun, and travel". Keidar, a 71-year-old mother of three, was a resident of Kibbutz Beeri, where over 100 people were killed. Levinson, a 19-year-old tank commander, "engaged and fought terrorists on the morning of October 7 and fell in combat," a statement from the military said. Following the news, the forum repeated their frequent calls for the release of the remaining captives in Gaza, writing on social media: "The hostages have no time. We must bring them ALL home, Now!". Of the 251 hostages seized during Hamas' October 7 ofensive, 49 are still held in Gaza, including 27, the Israeli military says, are dead. Released captives have reported that they were beaten and tortured by Hamas militants while held in isolation in tunnels snaking underneath Gaza. Keith Siegel, a 66-year-old Israeli-American, told of experiencing and seeing various forms of abuse while in captivity during a recent interview with AFP. One of the locations where Siegel was held was so far underground that he was "gasping for breath", he recalled. Since 7 October 2023, Israel's genocidal war in Gaza has killed at least 55,908 people, most of them women and children, according to the Palestinian health ministry in the territory. The UN considers these figures reliable. On Sunday, Israel's President Isaac Herzog called for the "urgent release" of the remaining captives after the United States carried out strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. "This brave step serves the security and safety of the entire free world. I hope it will lead to a better future for the Middle East - and help advance the urgent release of our hostages held in captivity in Gaza," Herzog wrote on X. * This story was edited by Ahram Online.
