Jerusalem, Israel - July 31, 2024 - Major American and British airlines have told passengers that flights to Israel are canceled, Hebrew media reports, amid spiraling tensions with Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran.
Delta is said to cancel its flights until August 2, as is British Airways. The reports say United has canceled its flights until August 6.
Tens of thousands of Israelis are reportedly estimated to remain stranded in the United States due to the cancellation of flights to Israel.
The cancellation by United and Delta, respectively the second- and third-largest airlines in the world, will likely spark a wave of cancellations by other airlines, according to some reports.
