Flights Continue Amid Attacks

Axios, via US and Israeli sources, reported that Trump told Netanyahu Washington was “close to doing something good in terms of a deal,” and that Netanyahu “pseudo agreed” to hold back immediate action—adding the US side said it did not issue a “green light” for earlier Israeli strikes.

Israel’s Transport Minister Miri Regev said the decision to keep commercial flights operating followed a situational assessment led by Regev together with Transportation Director General Moshe Ben-Zaken and aviation-industry professionals, with the ministry saying the public would be updated if fire expands and a new decision is required.

Reporting from Tel Aviv cited Channel 12 saying Ben Gurion Airport was continuing operations normally the night of June 8 into June 9 (local time), and that—at that point—only one Austrian Airlines departure scheduled for June 8 had been cancelled; the airport was expected to run at full capacity on June 8 unless conditions changed.

Iranian civil aviation officials said the western airspace closure was ordered for “security and safety assessments” and would remain shut “until further notice,” while the same report added that Iran’s state broadcaster framed the missile attack as retaliation for Israel’s strike on Beirut’s southern suburbs, which Lebanon’s health ministry said killed two people and injured 20.
