Several airlines canceled flights to the region due to fears of an Iranian attack

The Israeli Air Force has canceled leave for all pilots and employees as Israeli intelligence assesses that Iran may soon launch a large-scale attack on Israeli territory.

Meanwhile, Lufthansa and several other companies have canceled or delayed flights to Israel, Iran, Jordan, Lebanon and several other countries in the region amid concerns about escalating tensions and the possibility of war.

Israel’s Kan TV reported on Monday (22nd) that as the possible date of Iran’s attack on Israel approaches, Israeli Air Force Commander Pilot Lieutenant General Tumor canceled the holidays for all pilots and other employees of the force.

A related order stipulates that permanent employees will also need new approval to travel abroad for conferences and training.

Kan TV reported on Sunday that the Israeli army asked all its troops that went to the Republic of Georgia and Azerbaijan to return to Israel as soon as possible because these troops could be involved in Iran’s revenge for the killing of Iranian leader Ismail Haniyeh. The political office of Hamas was targeted in these countries.

Following the killing of Hezbollah commander Fawad Shekhar in Beirut and Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, the Iranian and Hezbollah leaders’ persistence and commitment to revenge have captured the attention of the region and the world.

Iranian authorities and Hamas, which is designated a terrorist organization by the United States and the European Union, have held Israel responsible for Ismail Haniyeh’s murder, but Israel has not denied or confirmed the allegations.

Israel’s intelligence assessment says an Iranian attack is imminent, an assessment Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant briefed U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on in a phone conversation Sunday evening.

Following this conversation, the United States announced it would send a submarine to the region.

In addition, on Monday, the leaders of Britain, France and Germany asked Iran and Hezbollah in Lebanon not to attack Israel. The statements of the three heads of state also indicate that Iran and Hezbollah may soon attack Israel.
