German airliner suspends night flights to Lebanon

Germany’s Lufthansa Group has suspended night flights to and from Beirut until July 31 due to the worsening security situation.

According to a spokesperson, this change took effect on June 29, but daytime flights will continue as scheduled.

Swiss International Air Lines, a subsidiary of the Lufthansa Group, also announced that it will shift its Beirut night flights to daytime until the end of July "due to the political developments at the border between Lebanon and Israel."

In recent days, cross-border attacks between Hezbollah fighters and Israeli forces have intensified, with both sides threatening full-scale war.
