Israel has no plans to close Ben Gurion International Airport in the event of a large-scale Hezbollah attack. However, there is a possibility that Lod Airport could become a target for Lebanese terrorists due to the proximity of the Aircraft Industries military facility.
Hezbollah understands that an attack on Ben Gurion Airport would destroy Rafic Hariri Airport in Beirut, but it is possible that the Party of Allah will decide to take the risk. The Airports Authority has a “Silver Wings” plan for evacuation to Ramon Airport near Eilat if necessary.
Israel prefers to maintain direct air links with the world and use Ramon as an alternative base for aviation in case of a threat. The dispute over the construction of an alternative airport has been going on for almost two decades, but against the backdrop of the risk of armed conflict, the Southern Negev would be preferable.
