It certainly seemed there was a strike today! Upon landing, during the busiest time of the day, I saw 6 lines open at passport control! For 10 minutes, I couldn't even enter the room!
I was on the moving sidewalk, and at the end, we kinda needed to turn around and use it like a treadmill because there was no room to get off.
But it all worked out in the end

Strike Called for Mon Nov 7
Looks like it back on again:

"The strike will cover airports, seaports, local authorities, government ministries, and other public institutions. The Histadrut also intends to extend the strike to private employers. A detailed list is expected on Sunday."
I am supposed to fly out on CO Monday night - should I try to change to Sunday?
