Flights at Israel’s Ramon Airport resumed on Wednesday following a temporary suspension triggered by an earthquake near Eilat. The Geological Survey of Israel reported that the earthquake, measuring 4.5 in magnitude, occurred about 30 kilometers south of Eilat at 11:24 a.m. local time.
The airport halted operations temporarily to conduct safety inspections and infrastructure checks. After completing these assessments, authorities confirmed that the airport returned to full operation without any issues.
Despite the earthquake’s proximity to the southern region, Israel’s main international airport, Ben Gurion near Tel Aviv, remained unaffected and continued to operate normally.
