Dear Clients and Partners,
As you may have seen in the news, today, June 13, 2025, Israel launched a major military operation—“Operation Rising Lion”—targeting Iranian nuclear and military sites. The situation is still unfolding, and with the weekend now underway, we want to share a brief update regarding current conditions and operational status.
Air Travel – Ben Gurion Airport
Ben Gurion Airport is currently closed to all civilian air traffic, both inbound and outbound. While Israeli media reports suggest the closure may last three to four days, no official reopening timeline has been confirmed. We expect to receive further clarity in the coming days.
Daily Life & Safety Guidelines
The Israel Home Front Command has issued emergency directives across the country. Schools are closed, and access to workplaces is limited to essential services only, including healthcare, food supply, and utility providers. Residents are advised to remain in proximity to protected shelters, prepare emergency essentials, and limit non-essential movement. All hospitals and emergency rooms remain fully operational and accessible.
Shipping & Freight Operations
Our operations continue under the framework of an essential service provider, and our teams will remain active. That said, we may experience occasional disruptions. Air freight is also delayed due to the airport closure.
Relocation Services
Local relocation services and on-the-ground support remain available. We are monitoring the situation closely and will continue to provide updates as more information becomes available.
Should you have any questions or require assistance, Ocean’s management remains fully accessible. Please see our contact information below.
