German airline Lufthansa introduced on Friday that it’s extending the suspension of flights to Tehran and Tel Aviv till Sept. 2 because of safety considerations.
Flights to Lebanon‘s capital Beirut had been halted till no less than Sept. 30 amid heightened tensions within the area, and fears of a brand new struggle between Israel and Hezbollah.
Meanwhile, flights to Jordan‘s capital Amman and Iraqi metropolis of Erbil, which had been suspended earlier this month, will probably be resumed from Aug. 27, in accordance with the Lufthansa assertion.
The choice comes as diplomatic efforts of the US, Qatar, and Egypt proceed to steer Israel and Hamas to succeed in a cease-fire in Gaza, with the hope that this might additionally de-escalate the tensions between Iran and Israel.
Israel has been bracing for retaliation from Iran and Hezbollah in response to the latest assassinations of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh in Iran’s capital Tehran, and Hezbollah navy chief Fouad Shukr in Beirut.
