Ben Gurion airport nearly closed

Israeli Ben Gurion airport was nearly shut down after the Palestinian resistance warned it would target the strategic airport following the violation of an interim truce by the Zionist regime of Israel.

A Hamas warning to foreign airlines to halt flights into Tel Aviv was to take effect Thursday.

The warning came as Israeli warplanes carried out dozens of air strikes across Gaza again on Wednesday.

"We are warning international airlines and press them to stop flying into Ben gurion airport from 6 am (0300 GMT)," said Abu Obeida, the spokesman of the al-Aqsa Martyrs Berigades, the military wing of Hamas.
