(SOURCE: AIRWAYS MAGAZINE)

Airlines are canceling services to Israel due to fears of instability following Israel’s killing of political leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran (THR) just hours after an Israeli strike on the Lebanese capital Beirut (BEY), killing a senior Hezbollah leader. 

Airlines are concerned about the possibility of retaliation. Thus, several carriers have decided to err on the side of caution and have canceled scheduled services in Israel. Lufthansa (LH) and Fly Dubai (FZ) announced the suspension of their services to Israel on Thursday, 1 August.
