Israel's national airline El Al has prolonged its flight cancellations until 19 June, with some European routes suspended until 23 June, citing ongoing regional instability.
The carrier, which previously halted operations until 17 June, said it would operate rescue flights once security clearance is granted. "We'll work to bring Israelis home and restore normal schedules when authorities permit," El Al stated.
Israel's National Security Council warned against entering via Egypt or Jordan, maintaining their Level 4 travel alerts. "Sinai and Jordan remain high-risk zones, particularly during current tensions," the NSC advised, urging stranded citizens to await transport ministry updates
