Algeria cancels flights to Lebanon amid rising regional tensions

Air Algerie has announced that it is suspending its flights to and from Lebanon until further notice.

While the air line did not give a reason for the decision, it comes amid escalating regional tensions following the Israeli assassinations of senior Hezbollah and Hamas figures in Beirut and Tehran.

The air line's announcement follows similar moves by Kuwait Airways, Royal Jordanian Airlines, Air France, Lufthansa and Swiss International Air Lines.
