US airlines company United Airlines announced, on Friday, cancelling its daily flight from Newark, New Jersey to Tel Aviv, Israel on May 2 due to security concerns after Israel's apparent attacks on Iran.

The operator said that the scheduled flight from Newark to Tel Aviv was also canceled until May 18. 

Germany's Lufthansa also canceled all flights to Tel Aviv and Erbil until Saturday and said it would fly around Iraqi airspace during the period.

The Israeli Air Force confirmed carrying out a raid on Iran's Isfahan.

ABC News reported the confirmation of an unnamed U.S. official that Israeli missiles struck a site inside Iran. It stated that the official did not confirm whether sites in Iraq or Syria had also been bombed.

According to US officials, only one target in Iran was struck.
