Sirens sounded in several settlements in the occupied West Bank after a missile attack was reportedly launched from Yemen. 

Illegal Israeli settlers located east of the city of Nablus, including in Gilgal, Shomron, Amichai, Achita, Itamar, Shvut Rachel, Adei Ad, Kida, Masua, Argaman, Yafit, Roee, Ma'aleh Ephraim, Hamra, Tomer, Gitit, Beka'ot, Petza'el, and Mekhora, were all warned and directed to shelters at dawn on Tuesday.

Israeli occupation forces claimed that the missile coming from Yemen was shot down.

Two days earlier, a missile launched from Yemen also triggered sirens in the southern West Bank and the Beit Shemesh area west of al-Quds. Yemeni missile attacks usually trigger sirens in more central areas such as Tel Aviv, due to the Yemeni military support campaign aiming to halt air traffic to the Ben Gurion Airport.

British Airways extends flight suspension to 'Israel' until July 31

Among the many airlines that canceled their flight to the Israeli-controlled airport, British Airways extended its suspension of flights to and from Ben Gurion Airport through July 31, citing persistent security risks following a missile strike from Yemen near Ben Gurion Airport earlier this month, as well as repeated missile launches that bring air traffic to a halt. The UK carrier had previously paused operations until mid-June, but ongoing instability has prompted a longer delay.

The decision comes in the aftermath of the May 4 incident, when a ballistic missile bypassed Israeli air defenses and struck near Terminal 3’s control tower, landing just a few hundred meters from a critical access road. The event raised immediate concerns about aviation security in occupied Palestine, prompting numerous international airlines to reevaluate their routes. Meanwhile, many major airlines remain cautious.

The following carriers have extended their "Israel" flight cancellations:

  • Air France, LOT Polish Airlines: Suspended through May 26
  • Iberia (Spain): Suspended through May 31
  • airBaltic (Latvia): Suspended through June 2
  • ITA Airways, Lufthansa, Austrian, Swiss, Brussels Airlines, Eurowings: Suspended through June 8
  • Ryanair: Suspended through June 11
  • United Airlines: Suspended through June 12
  • Air India: Suspended through June 19

Furthermore, foreign carriers have jointly called on "Israel’s" Transportation Ministry to formally announce a state of emergency, requesting regulatory relief to help facilitate the safe and economically viable resumption of operations.
