Flights have resumed at Israel’s Ramon Airport after being temporarily suspended due to a magnitude 4.5 earthquake that struck the southern Eilat region on Wednesday. The Geological Survey of Israel reported that the earthquake occurred approximately 30 kilometers south of Eilat at 11:24 a.m. local time.
In response to the seismic event, operations at Ramon Airport were paused to conduct necessary safety inspections and infrastructure checks. Following these assessments, authorities confirmed that the airport is now back to full operation, ensuring the safety and security of passengers and staff.
Despite the disruption at Ramon Airport, Israel’s main international airport, Ben Gurion, located near Tel Aviv, remained unaffected by the earthquake, continuing its operations without interruption.
