Israel and Hezbollah trade fire in major flare-up
The recent escalation of conflict between Israel and Hezbollah has significantly impacted air travel in the region, prompting European airlines to cancel flights to the Middle East. Air France, the French national carrier, has suspended all flights to Tel Aviv and Beirut at least until Monday, with the possibility of extending the suspension. The airline has committed to providing an update on the situation by Monday.
Similarly, British Airways has canceled all flights to and from Tel Aviv through Wednesday, citing safety as the top priority. The airline is reaching out to affected customers to discuss alternative travel options.
This disruption in air travel follows a marked escalation in hostilities on Sunday, when Hezbollah launched a major attack involving hundreds of drones and rockets aimed at Israel, in what the group described as the “first phase” of its response to the killing of a top commander last month. Israel, in turn, conducted preemptive strikes on Hezbollah targets in Lebanon to thwart a broader attack, hitting several rocket launchers.
The cross-border violence on Sunday represents a significant intensification after nearly a year of simmering tensions between the two sides. However, there are signs that fears of a wider conflict may be easing, at least for the moment. In Israel, authorities have lifted security restrictions in the northern region of the Upper Galilee, while Hezbollah in Lebanon indicated that it had concluded its attacks for the day, signaling a return to the lower-intensity conflict that has persisted along the border.
Despite this temporary de-escalation, both sides remain on high alert. Hezbollah has hinted that more actions could follow, keeping its threats deliberately vague. Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed that this is “not the end of the matter,” indicating that further developments are likely as both sides continue to prepare for potential future confrontations. Additionally, Israel remains watchful for a possible response from Iran, which has vowed to avenge the killing of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, an act it attributes to Israel.
