Royal Jordanian suspends flights to Beirut as tensions rise between Israel and Hezbollah following the assassination of a Hezbollah commander. Jordanian airspace remains unaffected.
Bollywood Fever: Jordan’s national airline, Royal Jordanian, has temporarily suspended all flights to Beirut as of Sunday, citing the “current situation,” according to the state news agency.
While the exact duration of the suspension remains unclear, officials confirmed to Reuters that there has been no disruption to Jordanian airspace.
The suspension comes amid escalating tensions in the region, following Lebanon’s Hezbollah movement launching hundreds of rockets and drones at Israel in retaliation for the assassination of its senior commander, Fuad Shukr, in an Israeli airstrike on July 30 in Beirut.
In response, the Israeli military carried out airstrikes on targets in Lebanon, assessing that Hezbollah was preparing for further attacks.
This latest surge in violence has sparked regional fears of a broader conflict, especially in light of the assassination of Palestinian Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran on July 31.
Concerns are growing that Iran and its regional proxies may escalate their responses, potentially widening the scope of the conflict.
As the situation develops, travelers to and from the region are advised to stay informed of the latest updates regarding air travel and regional security conditions.
