Lufthansa and Air France have suspended flights to Tel Aviv, Tehran, and Beirut until Thursday following pager explosions targeting Hezbollah members in Lebanon. Lufthansa Group airlines have suspended all connections to and from Tel Aviv and Tehran, and will bypass Israeli and Iranian airspace. Air France has suspended its connections from Paris-Charles de Gaulle to Beirut and Tel Aviv. The airlines cited the security situation as the reason for the suspensions and stated that they will assess the situation further in the coming days. This comes after hundreds of pagers used by Hezbollah members exploded in Lebanon, with the group blaming Israel and vowing to avenge the attacks.
