Qatar Airways says it suspended flights to Beirut until Wednesday as fighting escalated between Israel and Hezbollah.
“Due to the ongoing situation in Lebanon, Qatar Airways has temporarily suspended flights to and from Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport until September 25,” the Qatari national carrier says in a statement.
“The safety of our passengers remains our highest priority,” it adds.
A number of carriers have already canceled flights to both Beirut and Tel Aviv amid the fighting.
