TRAVEL UPDATE | MIDDLE EAST DEVELOPMENTS:
Recent military engagement between the United States and Iran has heightened attention on the Middle East and naturally raises questions about regional travel. Israel has implemented precautionary aviation and security measures, including the temporary closure of Ben Gurion Airport.
These steps are standard protocol during periods of elevated tension and are designed to prioritize civilian safety. In this region, operational realities can shift quickly — airspace restrictions and airport operations may change with little notice as conditions evolve.
We are actively monitoring developments and remain in direct communication with our airline partners, group leaders, and trusted land operators to ensure we are receiving timely updates from the ground. If circumstances materially affect a scheduled Nahal Tours departure, registered travelers will be contacted directly with clear guidance.
For group-specific questions, travelers may connect with their group leader or contact our office at [email protected]. The safety and well-being of our travelers and partners remains our highest priority. We will continue to provide updates as substantive information becomes available.
We also remain mindful of the people living and working in the region during this time and encourage continued prayer for safety, wisdom, and peace.
With continued oversight,
The Nahal Team
