Construction costs are estimated to have reached approximately NIS 50 million. “The return of international airlines and the sharp increase in passenger traffic are further evidence of the resilience of the State of Israel,” noted Miri Regev, Israel’s Minister of Transport. “We shall continue to develop Ben Gurion Airport to ensure that our national airport is able to meet any security and operational challenge. Israel is open to the world and invites the world to return to Israel”.

Summer activities in Mount Hermon |

After almost two years of being declared a closed military area, the Mount Hermon site is now back to welcoming the general public, which this summer has gladly been flocking over to enjoy this incredible spot, 2,040 meters above sea level. Throughout September, all sorts of activities will be available to visitors, including cable car rides, Sky Rider thrill rides, extreme sledding, and guided tours on the weekends. During the High Holidays period, there’ll also be tubing and go-karting. “The Hermon is perhaps the only place where you can breathe during the summer months. It’s a place where families and nature lovers can breathe some fresh air, explore the beautiful surroundings, relax, and have fun - 2,040 meters above sea level”, says Raphael Naveh, the Hermon site CEO.
