Lufthansa is offering affected passengers the option to cancel their tickets free of charge or to rebook their flights.

It's important to note that Air France's cancellations currently apply only through Sep. 19. The company will provide further updates regarding decisions beyond that. At this time, Ben Gurion Airport is operating as usual with no changes to guidelines. If there are any updates, they will be published here, on Israel Hayom.
