Europe tightens flight procedures over Israeli airspace

On October 10, the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) required airlines to have strict risk monitoring procedures for flights in Israeli airspace, amid concerns about Tel Aviv's response to last week's missile attack from Iran.

Last week, EASA also warned airlines to avoid Iranian airspace.

Meanwhile, according to CNN, Israel's security cabinet met on the evening of October 10 (local time) to vote on the country's response to Iran's ballistic missile attack. Earlier, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said that Israel's response to Iran would be "strong, precise and surprising." According to Gallant, the Israeli Air Force suffered no losses, nor were any soldiers or civilians injured after Iran's missile attack.

In a related development, US President Joe Biden spoke by phone with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The two leaders discussed Israel's response to Iran's missile attack last week amid escalating tensions in the Middle East.
