The Voice of Chandigarh News:

Air India has cancelled its flights to and from Tel Aviv till October 14, 2023, in the wake of the recent unrest in Israel. The airline cited the safety of its passengers and crew as the reason for the cancellations.

Air India operates five weekly flights to Tel Aviv from New Delhi. The airline has said that it will extend all possible support to passengers who have confirmed bookings on any flight during this period.

Other airlines that have cancelled or reduced flights to Israel include Lufthansa, United Airlines, and British Airways.

The unrest in Israel began on Saturday, October 7, when Hamas militants launched a rocket attack on Israel. The Israeli military responded with airstrikes on Hamas targets in Gaza. The violence has continued since then, with dozens of people killed on both sides.

The Indian government has issued an advisory to its citizens in Israel to remain vigilant and avoid areas of tension.
