The State of Israel will compensate airlines for a portion of the damage caused during Operation Roaring Lion, the major military campaign against Iran that began in February 2026. According to a report from an Israeli channel, the total payout will reach tens of millions of shekels. The operation disrupted civilian aviation in Israeli airspace for an extended period, leading to significant financial losses for carriers operating to and from Israel. The compensation framework is part of a broader government effort to address economic damage from the conflict, following other grant programs for northern businesses. Specific eligibility criteria, the division of compensation among carriers, and the timeline for payments have not yet been detailed.
