Lufthansa suspends nighttime flights to, from Beirut
Germany’s flag carrier Lufthansa has suspended nighttime flights to and from Lebanon’s capital Beirut amid the Israeli regime’s threats of launching a wholesale military action against the West Asian country.
Announcing on Saturday, the airlines said the measure would remain in force until July 31.
According to a spokesperson, daytime flights will continue as scheduled.
Swiss International Air Lines, a subsidiary of the Lufthansa Group, also announced that it would shift its Beirut nighttime flights to daytime until the end of July "due to the political developments” on the border between Lebanon and the occupied Palestinian territories.
Earlier, Israeli warplanes were reported to have carried out “mock air raids” over Beirut.
The incident saw the warplanes “breaking the sound barrier and firing flares over the city.”
The regime began waging sporadic attacks against Lebanon following the onset of Tel Aviv’s genocidal war on the Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023, prompting a firefight with the country’s resistance movement Hezbollah.
The movement has retaliated against the aggression by firing hundreds of rockets into the northern parts of the occupied territories.
Tel Aviv has been issuing recurrent threats of turning Lebanon into another Gaza.
Earlier this month, the Israeli army said it had approved plans for an attack on the country, raising concerns that the regime might try to realize the threats.
Hezbollah fought off two Israeli wars against Lebanon in 2000 and 2006, forcing a humiliating retreat upon the Tel Aviv regime’s military in both cases.
The movement has wowed to defend Lebanon robustly in case of another one.
