Continued Israeli Attacks on Hezbollah Bases; Iran Air Cancels Flights to Beirut

Following the ongoing Israeli airstrikes on Hezbollah bases in southern Beirut, Iranian media reported that Iran Air has canceled all its flights to the Lebanese capital until further notice. Earlier, the Times of Israel, citing data from flight tracking websites, reported that Qeshm Air, which was likely headed from Tehran to Lebanon or Syria, circled over Iraqi airspace. This action came after a warning from the Israeli army, which stated that any attempt by the Islamic Republic of Iran to transfer weapons to Hezbollah, including through Beirut's civilian airport, would be thwarted. Lebanese media quoted Ali Hamieh, Lebanon's Minister of Transport, stating that after Israel gained control over the communication system of the Rafic Hariri International Airport's control tower and warned an Iranian cargo plane not to land, he ordered that no Iranian aircraft be allowed into Lebanese airspace.
