Major Airlines Suspend Flights To Israel


    
Major airlines have suspended flights to Israel after the nation declared war following a massive attack by Hamas.

American Airlines, United Airlines, and Delta Air Lines suspended service as the US State Department issued travel advisories for the region citing potential for terrorism and civil unrest, Associated Press reports.

A Palestinian group, Hamas, had launched its biggest attack on Israel early on Saturday, firing a barrage of rockets from Gaza and sending fighters across the border.

The PUNCH reports that the European Union, Russia, the United States, and Nigeria, among other nations, have called for a ceasefire and dialogue between Israel and Palestine over the renewed outbreak of hostilities between both countries.
