German airline Lufthansa has suspended flights to Iran, Israel, Iraq, and Beirut amid rising tensions in the Middle East. "Based on its current security analysis, Lufthansa Group is again adjusting its services to the Middle East," the airline said in a statement on August 7. "All flights to Amman, Beirut, Tehran, and Tel Aviv are suspended up to and including August 13." Lufthansa says passengers can rebook or cancel free of charge. Tensions in the region have escalated amid Israel’s war in Gaza and the killing last week in Tehran of Ismail Haniyeh, the leader of Palestine’s Hamas, which has been designated a terrorist organization by the United States and the European Union.
