    But I don’t remember their airports being closed last year, like they have this time. Last year they were bombing the sh#t out of Gaza. This year they have had some hits themselves.

    Personally, I’d have thought that Israel itself would have been a more dangerous place this year than last

      The airports were only closed for like two weeks during the war against Iran.

      That said. I know two people who have visited friends in Israel this year. Only one of them had to go a shelter.

      June saw a 42% collapse due to airport closures. The probably more important number is that 2023 tourism was more then three times higher then it was this year.
