Seven airlines have canceled flights to Israel amid spiraling tensions with Iran, Channel 12 reports.
According to the report, Delta, United Airlines, Lufthansa, Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, and Air India have canceled all upcoming flights to Israel.
The report comes after a Lufthansa flight from Munich to Tel Aviv landed in Larnaca, Cyprus, early this morning, then turned around and returned to Germany, after the crew refused to fly to Israel.
FlyDubai has canceled some of its scheduled flights, Channel 12 adds.
Lebanese media reports an Israeli strike in southern Lebanon’s Kafr Kila, the first report of an attack since the assassination of Hezbollah’s military chief in Beirut on Tuesday.
No further details are immediately available.
Top Iranian officials will meet the representatives of Iran’s regional allies from Lebanon, Iraq and Yemen today to discuss potential retaliation against Israel after the killing of the Hamas leader in Tehran, five sources tell Reuters.
The region faces a risk of widened conflict between Israel and Iran and its proxies after Ismail Haniyeh’s killing in Tehran yesterday and the killing of Hezbollah’s senior commander on Tuesday in an Israeli strike on the outskirts of the Lebanese capital Beirut.
