On March 9, chaos erupted at Ben Gurion Airport as El Al abruptly cut outbound flight quotas overnight, turning away crowds of Israelis desperate to leave amid ongoing missile threats from Iran. The airport has run under tight restrictions since the conflict started earlier this month, prioritizing repatriation flights that brought over 20,000 home while limiting departures for essentials. Ground staff lost control briefly as tensions boiled over, highlighting the daily strain on civilians while Iranian strikes damaged areas like Rishon LeZion, including a children's playground. ]]> Tue 10 Mar 2026 09:42:00 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1612621/chaos-at-ben-gurion-airport-in-israel-as-people-are-trying-to-flee-n12-passengers-got-angry-check-in-counters-closed-and-clashes-broke-out-with-police/
