Israel was hit by a brief four hours general strike last Monday, a strike that affected main seaports, international airport, hospitals and banks.
The strike which shut down all government offices, followed a dispute over the working conditions of hundreds of thousands of contract workers employed by the government.
The strike, which began at 6:00 am, had been due to continue indefinitely but its scope was limited to four hours following an all-night session by the National Labour Court which met after the collapse of talks between the powerful Histadrut trades union and the finance ministry.
Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion Airport was closed for two hours and about a dozen flights were delayed or cancelled. An airports authority spokesman said operations were swiftly returning to normal.
