Flights at Ben-Gurion Airport were disrupted on Wednesday after a civilian drone entered its airspace, N12 News reported.

Takeoffs and landings were halted during the incident, according to the report, which occured during peak hours.

Transportation Ministry Director-General Moshe Ben Zaken began an investigation following the incident, N12 added.

The incident follows a July 23 N12 report regarding a potential complete civilian drone ban in all of Israel's airspace.

The potential ban comes amid growing fears of an Iranian attack against the Jewish state.
