Israel is tightening operations at Ben Gurion Airport, reducing traffic to one departing and one arriving flight per hour, according to Ynet.

Outbound passenger limits are being cut to around 50 per flight, significantly reducing departure capacity.

The move was ordered by Transportation Minister Miri Regev and senior officials as part of ongoing security measures.

Amit Segal reports the restrictions are primarily focused on outbound traffic, with inbound flights not expected to face the same passenger-capacity limitations.

Officials say the guidelines could change at any time as the situation evolves.
