Surprising, especially since Uvda is constantly used for charter flights going to Eilat.

Still, saying that Israel has not backup airport is a bit of an exaggeration. Most air force bases are suited to handle civic aviation in case of a real need, and most can take big planes (at least as far as runways are concerned. I'm not sure about parking places and instrument landing facilities).
