Seven hours after closing its airspace, Israel announced it will be reopening its airspace at 07:30 local time (04:30 BST), the country's airports authority announced.

Jordan and Iraq reopened their airspace on Sunday after closing it late on Saturday as Iran launched its attack against Israel, both countries said on Sunday.

Jordan’s state TV said the country had resumed air traffic operations, citing aviation authorities. The opening of its airspace came more than three hours earlier than scheduled.

Iraq’s aviation authority said security risks had now been overcome.
