STORYLINE:
Tens of thousands of public-sector workers began an open-ended strike on Tuesday, shutting down much of the country and bringing
activity at Israel's international airport to a standstill.
Early Tuesday, all flights at Ben Gurion International Airport were cancelled. Several stranded tourists wandered around the terminal in confusion as they tried to find out if their planes would depart, but airline counters were closed.
Airport officials told Army Radio that incoming flights in the air at the time the strike began at 8:30 a.m. (0530 GMT) would be allowed to land. But flights slated to take off in foreign countries after that time were cancelled.
The shutdown began a week before the holiday of Sukkot, or the Feast of the Tabernacles, a peak time for tourism. Thousands of Israelis, Jewish tourists and Christian pilgrims are expected to pass through the airport for the holiday.
The strike affected most of the Israeli population in one way or another, closing banks, government ministries, kindergartens, sea ports and technical support offices at the national telephone and electric companies.
The Histadrut Labour Federation announced the strike on Monday after the government refused to dole out back pay for workers at local municipalities.
Due to a financial crisis, thousands of workers haven't been paid for several months.
Finance Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has refused to approve the payment of municipal workers' salaries until local councils agree to crack down on overspending.
Ministry and Histadrut officials were to meet later Tuesday, but no compromise proposals had been offered by either side, Israel Radio said.
