Report: Seven airlines cancel flights to Israel amid spiraling tensions with Iran

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.

Around 70,000 passengers are reportedly at Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport, with some trying to catch the last flights out of the country in case of more cancellations and others looking to cancel their flights out of fears that they won’t be able to get back into the country.

The cancellations come as the country braces for a response to the assassinations earlier this week of Hezbollah military chief Fuad Shukr in Beirut — after a rocket fired by the terror group killed 12 children in the Golan Heights on Saturday — and Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran.
