In the wake of the recent turbulent developments in Israel, the German airline Lufthansa has made the decision to temporarily suspend its flights to the region.
This announcement comes as a response to the escalating situation, as reported by the English-language news channel France 24.
While specific details surrounding the suspension remain limited, it is clear that Lufthansa is taking this measure due to the volatile conditions prevailing in Israel.
The decision follows a series of events that have heightened tensions in the region.
On Saturday, Palestinian resistance factions in the Gaza Strip launched an intense barrage of rocket attacks targeting settlements in the vicinity of the Gaza Strip, as well as cities in southern Israel, including Tel Aviv.
According to Palestinian sources in the Gaza Strip, these factions also executed amphibious and ground infiltrations, with dozens of militants infiltrating settlements in the vicinity and gaining control over certain areas.
These actions have resulted in intense armed clashes.
In response to these developments, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) declared a state of “war readiness” on Saturday. IDF spokesperson Avichay Adraee, in a statement to “X” news site, announced that the IDF was officially on high alert and referred to it as a state of “war readiness.”
The decision by Lufthansa to suspend flights to Israel underscores the seriousness of the situation in the region and its potential impact on travel and tourism.
Travelers and industry experts will be closely monitoring the situation for any updates regarding the resumption of flights to and from Israel.
As tensions persist and the situation continues to evolve, it is crucial for travelers to stay informed about developments in the region and to check with airlines for any updates or changes to travel plans.
The safety and security of passengers remain a top priority for airlines and authorities during times of heightened tension and conflict
