Germany’s Lufthansa Group halted night flights to and from Beirut until July 31 because of the escalating security situation.

The spokesperson said the change began on June 29 and daytime flights would operate as before.

• Swiss International Air Lines, a Lufthansa Group subsidiary, also said it would move its Beirut night flights to the daytime until the end of July “due to the political developments at the border between Lebanon and Israel”.

The exchange of cross-border attacks between Hezbollah fighters and Israeli forces have taken on a sharper edge in recent days with both sides threatening full-scale war.
