Eilat airport: Israeli military orders shutdown
The Israeli military has ordered the closure of airspace around Eilat airport, meaning the airport is closed to departures and arrivals.
The military said "security assessments" based on "intelligence and other regional developments" had prompted the move.
The closure would remain in force until further notice, a spokesman said.
