Flights at Israel's only international airport, Tel Aviv, are all cancelled.
However, union leaders decided to make one exception to the strike - airport workers will be back on duty on Thursday evening for a single incoming flight - carrying the England football team.
Flights scheduled to bring England fans, however, will not be allowed in.
There also does not seem to be any promise to let the England team leave....what a good idea...
