Beirut Airport Cancels Flights as Tensions Rise Between Hezbollah and Israel

Hezbollah-Israel Escalation Impacts Air Travel

Flights Halted at Beirut Airport

As tensions escalate between Hezbollah and Israel, Beirut's Rafik Hariri International Airport has been forced to cancel all flights.

The cancellations come after Hezbollah fired rockets into northern Israel on Friday, prompting retaliatory airstrikes from Israel.

Airport Operations Disrupted

The airport disruptions have stranded thousands of passengers and disrupted travel plans across the region.

According to Lebanese media, the cancellations will remain in place until further notice.

Heightened Security Concerns

The heightened security concerns have raised fears that the conflict could escalate further, potentially leading to wider regional instability.

Experts warn that the situation remains fluid and could change rapidly.

Call for De-escalation

International leaders have called for both sides to de-escalate the conflict and avoid further violence.

The United Nations Security Council is expected to meet on Monday to discuss the situation.
