the Lufthansa Group will temporarily suspends night flights to and
from Beirut due to the worsening conflict between the pro-Iranian
Hezbollah militia in Lebanon and the Israeli military.

'Due to current developments in the Middle East, the airlines of the
Lufthansa Group will suspend their night flights to and from Beirut
(Lebanon) from June 29th to July 31st,' the Group said in response to
a query by dpa.

Daytime flights to and from Beirut would continue to be offered

cannot be ruled out,' said the Foreign Office.
