Fwd: Can Hamas Disrupt Commercial Flights to Israel?

you said that in 1979? The security forces moved everyone with benches when there was a suspicious package. Tourism is a huge industry for Israel, it is a shame if there are stops of commercial flights to Israel.

Can Hamas Disrupt Commercial Flights to Israel?

By Col (Res.) Dr. Raphael G. Bouchnik-Chen, December 19, 2018
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Hamas has repeatedly threatened to disrupt commercial flights to Israel, a threat intended to deter Israel whenever a violent round of hostilities erupts. This threat hearkens back to the flight ban that was imposed on Israel during 2014's Operation Protective Edge following a Hamas rocket attack on Yahud. While the flight ban was more a reflection of the Obama administration's desire to put political pressure on Israel than a reflection of genuine safety concerns, Israeli decision makers do seem to consider the Hamas threat to Ben-Gurion Airport to be viable. In fact, it is more a propaganda message than a concrete threat.
