Sharjah24 - AFP : German airline group Lufthansa has suspended flights to Israel and Iraq until early Saturday after Israel reportedly carried out retaliatory strikes against Iran.
Services by airlines of the group to Tel Aviv in Israel and Erbil in Iraqi Kurdistan were suspended until 0500 GMT due to the "current situation", a spokesman said.
Lufthansa subsidiary Austrian Airlines also decided as a "precautionary measure" to suspend flights to Jordan's capital Amman, as well as Erbil and Tel Aviv on Friday "to comprehensively reassess the security situation".
"Austrian Airlines continuously monitors and assesses the security situation in the Middle East and is in close contact with the authorities," Austrian Airlines said in a statement.
Both Lufthansa and Austrian Airlines have already suspended their flights to and from Tehran up until the end of the month.
