JERUSALEM, Sept. 7 (Xinhua) -- Flights at Ramon Airport in southern Israel resumed Sunday afternoon after operations were briefly suspended when a drone launched by the Houthis group in Yemen struck the arrivals hall, the Israel Airports Authority said.
"After less than two hours of suspended operations, Ramon Airport has resumed full activity," an authority spokesperson said. "Following a situation assessment and safety and security checks, approval was granted to resume takeoffs and landings."
The first departing flight after the incident, operated by Arkia Israeli Airlines, left Ramon for Ben Gurion Airport outside Tel Aviv.
Israel's Magen David Adom rescue service said at least two people were lightly injured and evacuated to a hospital in the nearby resort city of Eilat.
Departures and landings were halted for about two hours as the Israeli military said it was probing the drone strike, which it said was launched from Yemen. ■
