Israeli settlers flee by sea as Iranian strikes force closure of Israeli airspace
Hundreds of Israeli settlers are fleeing the entity by sea following powerful retaliatory missile strikes launched by the Islamic Republic of Iran.
The strikes forced the closure of Israeli airspace and exposed the vulnerability of the occupation’s infrastructure.
According to Haaretz, many Israelis have resorted to paying exorbitant sums—thousands of dollars per person—for passage by yacht to the island of Cyprus. Other Israeli media outlets confirmed that smaller ferries have been operating out of Haifa, charging as much as $800 per passenger to reach Greek Cyprus, as panic grips the settler population.
The mass maritime escape follows the complete shutdown of Israeli airspace and the suspension of operations at Ben Gurion International Airport on Friday. Israeli Channel 12 reported that the drastic move came after Iran’s precision drone attacks overwhelmed the Israeli defense apparatus, prompting authorities to halt all incoming and outgoing flights.
Military radio stations acknowledged that the airport had been fully evacuated, and civilian aircraft were hastily relocated to undisclosed locations—further evidence of the regime’s defensive collapse.
The occupation's state aircraft, the so-called "Wing of Zion," was also reportedly transferred for security reasons, though officials declined to reveal its destination, a clear indication of the increasing fear among Israeli leadership.
The panic-driven exodus and sudden airspace lockdown underscore the effectiveness of Iran’s deterrent power and mark a turning point in the balance of fear between the Israeli regime and the Resistance Axis. (ILKHA)
