Airlines suspend flights to Tel Aviv, Beirut amid renewed Israel-Hezbollah strikes

Jordan’s flag carrier Royal Jordanian suspended flights to Beirut on Sunday “due to the current situation”, the state news agency reported without giving an exact time frame for the suspension.

Officials told Reuters there was no disruption to Jordanian airspace.

Air France said Sunday it was suspending flights to Tel Aviv and Beirut for at least 24 hours after Israel launched air strikes into Lebanon.

“Flights today and tomorrow are suspended,” a spokesman for the airline said, adding that the suspension could be extended depending on the situation in the Middle East.

Hezbollah movement launched hundreds of rockets and drones against Israel early on Sunday in retaliation for the assassination of its senior commander Fuad Shukr in an Israeli strike in Beirut on July 30.
