FRANKFURT: Lufthansa Group has canceled all its passenger and cargo flights to and from Tel Aviv with immediate effect through Aug. 8, a spokesperson for the German airline said on Thursday.
“The reason for this is the current development in the region,” the spokesperson added.
The airline group has also extended a halt on its flights to and from the Lebanese capital Beirut through Aug. 12, according to the spokesperson.
A number of airlines have canceled or suspended flights as Lebanon braces for retaliation from Israel since a strike on Saturday in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights killed 12 children and teenagers. Hezbollah has denied blame.

Israel renews demolition order for refugee camp football pitch near Bethlehem
- The Aida field has been scheduled for demolition since November
LONDON: Israeli authorities on Monday renewed a demolition order for a seven-a-side football pitch in Aida Refugee Camp, north of Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank.
Munther Amira, head of the Aida Youth Center, said Israeli forces had informed the charity of the order to demolish the football field, claiming it was built without a permit.
He added that they posted the demolition order at the pitch gate in the Khallat Hamama area, on the outskirts of the Aida camp near the separation wall, according to official news agency Wafa.
The order gives the site owners a week to demolish it; otherwise, the Israeli authorities, which maintain a military occupation in the area, will carry out the work and the owners would be subject to fines and potential imprisonment.
The Aida football field has been scheduled for demolition since November last year.
