Airlines have canceled flights to Lebanon over fears of a possible war between Israel and Hezbollah, Politico reports.

Lufthansa has suspended five routes to and from the Lebanese capital until July 30 due to the possibility of a full-scale war between Israel and Hezbollah. Other airlines have also canceled their flights to Beirut due to conflict fears, including Turkish Airlines, Aegean Airlines, Ethiopian Air and Middle East Airlines. The US State Department has also urged travelers to reconsider their travel plans to Lebanon.

On July 27, a strike on the Golan Heights killed 12 children and teenagers and wounded dozens more. Israel blamed Hezbollah and responded with strikes in Lebanon, targeting the group's targets inside the country. The situation in the Middle East region is becoming increasingly tense due to the possibility of war between the parties.

German airline Lufthansa and its subsidiaries have suspended flights to and from Beirut out of an “abundance of caution” until August 5. Rising tensions in the region have led to airlines adjusting their schedules and changing their flight plans. US authorities are advising travelers to exercise caution and consider their travel to Lebanon.
