Hours after Israel’s security cabinet authorised Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and his defence minister to decide how to retaliate for a deadly attack in the Golan Heights, airlines such as Air France and Lufthansa on Monday cancelled or delayed flights to Beirut.

Flights to and from Beirut airport were cancelled or delayed on Monday as tensions escalated between Israel and the armed political group Hezbollah after a strike in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights killed 12 children and teenagers.
