Israeli model Bar Refaeli married her businessman fiancé Adi Ezra on Thursday in a celebration reportedly taking place at the Carmel Forest Hotel.

But the wedding has not been without drama. Last Friday, Israel’s Civil Aviation Authority declared the airspace above the ceremony a no-fly zone.

However, on Sunday, amid public outrage, Transportation Minister Yisrael Katz overturned the order, instructing authorities to keep the airspace open, saying: "The skies belong to the entire public, and exclusivity cannot be granted for commercial reasons for high-profile people".

On Tuesday, just before Yom Kippur, the CAA reinstated the order for the no-fly zone, saying that although the skies would not be completely closed, there would be limitations.
