How Lebanese Planes Are Taking To Skies Despite Bombings
The images of commercial jets rising and descending serenely above clouds of fire and of black smoke over Beirut’s skyline have become ubiquitous.
Since Israel began bombarding the Lebanese capital a month ago as part of its offensive against Hezbollah, Lebanon’s national air carrier, Middle East Airlines, has become a local icon simply by continuing to do its job.
It is the only commercial airline still operating out of the Beirut airport – the only one the tiny Mediterranean country has – which sits on the coast next to the densely-populated southern suburbs where many of Hezbollah’s operations are based.
Unlike the bruising monthlong war between Israel and Hezbollah in 2006, in which an Israeli strike almost immediately took the airport out of commission, it has not been targeted in the current conflict.
