Air France halts Beirut flights until Tuesday

Air France and low-cost carrier Transavia France have suspended their flights between Paris and Beirut due to the "security situation" in Lebanon, a spokesman for the companies said on Monday.

The announcement, which follows a similar decision by Germany's Lufthansa, came a day after Israel vowed to retaliate following rocket fire that killed 12 people in the Israeli-occupied Syrian Golan Heights. 

Israel blamed Hezbollah for the strike but the Lebenese armed group denied responsibility.
