Flights at Israel’s Ramon Airport have resumed after being temporarily suspended due to a magnitude 4.5 earthquake that struck the southern region near Eilat. The Geological Survey of Israel reported that the earthquake occurred approximately 30 kilometers south of Eilat at 11:24 a.m. local time on Wednesday.
The airport operations were halted as a precautionary measure to conduct safety inspections and infrastructure checks. After thorough assessments, authorities confirmed that the airport is fully operational once again.
Despite the impact on Ramon Airport, Israel’s main international airport, Ben Gurion, located near Tel Aviv, remained unaffected by the seismic activity.
