Air India suspends all flights to and from Tel Aviv in view of escalating tensions in Middle East

New Delhi: In a dramatic development, Air India has suspended all scheduled flights to and from Tel Aviv in Israel “with immediate effect” in view of escalating tensions in the Middle East after the killings of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Iran and Hezbollah senior commander Fuad Shukr in Beirut. Haniyeh’s brazen killing has triggered calls for retaliation and fuelled fears of a widened conflict in the Middle East.
