The Arabic-language Abu Saleh Desk reports that Saudi Arabia has closed its airspace, following an earlier flash report of the closure. The reason and scope remain unclear.
At 22:35 Jerusalem, the Arabic-language Abu Saleh Desk posted that Saudi Arabia's airspace is closed. The post follows the desk's initial flash report at 22:01 Jerusalem, which stated that Saudi Arabia was closing its airspace. The reason for the closure and its scope — whether partial or full — have not been specified. The desk has not cited an official Saudi source. The closure comes amid a period of heightened regional tensions, with multiple countries in the Middle East having restricted airspace in recent weeks due to security concerns, as The Zioneer has tracked.
