Airlines worldwide are suspending or reconsidering flights to and from Tel Aviv as airstrikes continue.
Many major airlines have suspended service to and from Israel after a surprise attack from Hamas killed hundreds and prompted a state of war between the country and the Palestinian militant group.
And the U.S. State Department updated an Israel, West Bank and Gaza travel advisory Sunday saying"the situation in Israel remains dynamic; mortar and rocket fire may take place without warning," a week after it had cautioned Americans not to travel to Gaza and to increase caution when traveling to Israel and West Bank due to terrorism and civil unrest.
After accommodating travelers who were at the Tel Aviv airport over the weekend, United Airlines said Sunday it would now suspend all flights"until conditions allow them to resume." Outside of the U.S., carriers KLM and Ryanair have canceled flights to Tel Aviv through Wednesday, and ITA said its Tel Aviv flights were canceled until Thursday.
British Airways said it's planning to continue operating flights to Israel"over the coming days with adjusted departure times."
