Turkey lifted a ban on flights to Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion airport after a ceasefire was agreed between Israelis and Palestinians, the state's aviation authority said on July 26.

"Taking into account the current ceasefire situation, the flight ban on Israel's Ben Gurion airport has been lifted, pending a subsequent announcement," Turkey's Civil Aviation General Directorate (SHGM) said via its Twitter account.

SHGM introduced the ban late on July 22 and had repeatedly extended it due to security concerns.
