The Yemeni siege is tightening its grip, and the occupation entity is facing stifling isolation and a collapse in the tourism sector

Follow ups – Al-Khabar Al-Yemeni:

The air blockade of the Yemeni Armed Forces against the Israeli entity sparked an unprecedented crisis in the aviation and tourism sectors, according to specialized international reports.

The “Travel & Tour World” website, specialized in travel and tourism news, reported that the Yemeni missile strike that targeted Ben Gurion Airport was sufficient to impose an immediate security closure and the cancellation of all flights, paralyzing travel through the main air gateway to “Israel.”

It pointed to a significant drop in hotel bookings in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and Eilat, and the cancellation by tourism companies from Europe and North America of entire group tour programs.

The global website revealed that airlines have started rerouting Europe-Asia flights to avoid not only the Israeli airspace but also the eastern Mediterranean and Red Sea regions, a step that reflects rising security concerns.

The “Times of Israel” newspaper highlighted that “Israel” has become isolated again as airlines distance themselves and air travel costs rise.

The newspaper quoted Shirly Kazir, head of the aviation and tourism department at the Fischer (FBC) company, as saying, “Many of our clients in foreign airlines have secretly told us that they will not resume flights to Israel before the summer at least, and this is horrific.”

These developments come amid the escalation of Yemeni missile strikes targeting the Israeli occupation in retaliation for the aggression and blockade on Gaza, which increases the international isolation of the entity and exacerbates the economic crisis in the aviation and tourism sectors.

It is worth noting that this is the first time a military strike has led to a complete paralysis at “Ben Gurion” Airport, which is considered one of the most fortified airports in the world.
