Ben-Gurion Airport May Relocate to Eilat Amid Rising Tensions with Iran - analysis

Ghoti Ichthus

Genesis 18:32, 2 Chronicles 7:14, Acts 5:29
This isn't the same airport as the Eilat airport I'm familiar with from a long time ago. This airport is new and north of Eilat, well inland from the Red Sea, and doesn't require thread-the-needle flying like the little Eilat airport.

Bet they're getting ready for (potentially) needing the space in Tel Aviv for military because of its proximity to Gaza, Lebanon, and the Mediterranean.

Ben-Gurion Airport May Relocate to Eilat Amid Rising Tensions with Iran - analysis​

In case of prolonged attacks, Ben-Gurion Airport may relocate operations to Ramon Airport, which is smaller and farther from central Israel but better protected.

"In every attack on Israel, whether by Iran or Hezbollah, Ben-Gurion Airport is considered a potential target.
The airport in Lod is a national symbol, the main gateway to Israel through which nearly 60,000 people pass daily - even now when dozens of foreign airlines have canceled or suspended their flights to Israel.
The fact that US Air Force transport planes land at the civilian airport with ammunition, and that the area between Yehud and Lod and Highway 40 houses the Israel Aerospace Industries headquarters and some of its production facilities, makes the region a prominent target in the intelligence files of countries and terrorist organizations."
