Amid escalating tensions between Israel and Hezbollah, Germany’s Lufthansa has suspended five routes to and from Beirut until July 30. The move, affecting Swiss International Air Lines, Eurowings, and Lufthansa, is described as a precautionary measure. Flights by other airlines like Middle East Airlines, Turkish Airlines, and Aegean Airlines have also been affected.
Fears of escalation of conflict
A recent rocket strike in the Israel-occupied Golan Heights has intensified the conflict, leading to accusations against Hezbollah. With Israel authorizing a response, the situation remains volatile. Beirut’s airport, previously targeted in 2006, faces renewed threats, raising concerns about potential disruptions to negotiations in Gaza.
As tensions rise and conflicts escalate, the region faces uncertainty and instability, impacting air travel and diplomatic efforts.
