Israeli airlines relocate planes abroad as fears grow over potential Iranian retaliation

Israel is preparing for further Iranian retaliation, with its airlines evacuating passenger-less planes—including Prime Minister Netanyahu’s "Wing of Zion" to Athens—to avoid attack risks. Major carriers like El Al remain secretive about relocation sites, though some aircraft landed in Cyprus’ Larnaca Airport. Ben Gurion Airport stands nearly empty as global airlines suspend Tel Aviv flights amid escalating tensions. Israelis abroad face uncertainty, while those at home brace for prolonged conflict. With both nations vowing continued strikes, air traffic disruptions are expected to persist. Al Jazeera’s Julide Ayger reports.
