Lebanon's Rafic Hariri Airport Shuts Down All Flights As Israel-Iran Tensions Rise
The Rafic Hariri International Airport in Lebanon's Beirut has shut down all flights. Lebanon's Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport has closed its airspace to all flights following Iran's attack on Israel on Sunday. Iran launched dozens of drones towards Israel amid escalating tensions between the two rivals following last week's attack on the Iranian consulate in Syria, the Israeli army confirmed on Friday. Military spokesman Daniel Hagari said the drones will take between seven to nine hours to reach Israel. He said there will be GPS disruptions as the military works to intercept the Iranian drones. Israeli news website Walla, citing US and Israeli sources, confirmed Iran has initiated its attack on Israel and launched drones towards it.
