Earlier, Air India had announced on August 2 that it would halt its services to Tel Aviv until August 8 in response to the heightening tensions in the Middle East. The carrier, recently acquired by the Tata Group, typically operates five weekly flights from New Delhi to the Israeli city.
Tensions have been heightened in the Middle East since the assassination of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh on July 31 in Iran, allegedly by Israeli forces.
