British Airways Suspends Flights to Israel

The Israeli Broadcasting Authority said that British Airways announced the suspension of its flights to Israel until Wednesday.

This comes against the backdrop of the Israeli occupation army launching a series of air strikes on southern Lebanon at dawn on Sunday, in order to thwart the Lebanese Hezbollah's preparations to launch large-scale attacks on Israel.

The occupation army stated that its warplanes, based on instructions from the Northern Command and the Military Intelligence Authority, attacked Hezbollah targets that posed a threat to the Israeli home front.

On his part, the mayor of Haifa decided this morning to open public shelters throughout the city, against the backdrop of a security assessment, following the events that took place this morning on the border with Lebanon.

The occupation's Defense Minister Yoav Galant announced a "special situation on the home front for 48 hours."

The declaration of a state of emergency will allow the occupation army to issue special instructions to residents, limit gatherings, and close sites in relevant places.
