U.S. carriers United Airlines and Delta Air Lines, along with British Airways, have temporarily suspended their flights to Israel amid growing tensions in the region, Israel’s state-owned Kan TV news reported on Thursday.

Delta said that its flights are suspended through Friday, “due to ongoing conflict in the region,” while United did not specify dates.

Both airlines, operating flight routes between New York and Tel Aviv, said they are closely monitoring the security situation to determine their next steps.
