Egypt’s airline Air Sinai has cancelled its flight to Ben Gurion International Airport in Tel Aviv amid the ongoing Israeli war on the besieged Gaza Strip.
The flight was reportedly cancelled on Monday because of security concerns.
According to an airport official, the Egyptian carrier has two weekly flights on Mondays and Thursdays to Ben Gurion.
This comes as a number of the world’s leading airlines suspended their flights to Israel’s main airport on July 22 after a rocket fired from Gaza struck about a mile from its runways.
Since July 8, Israeli warplanes have been pounding numerous sites in the Gaza Strip, demolishing houses and burying families in the rubble. Israeli tanks also began a ground offensive against the impoverished Palestinian land on July 17.
Palestinian medics say over 1,095 Palestinians have been killed so far in the Israeli attacks and more than 6,500 others injured.
Gaza has been blockaded by the Israeli regime since June 2007, a situation that has caused a decline in the standards of living, unprecedented levels of unemployment, and unrelenting poverty.
The apartheid regime of Israel denies about 1.8 million people in Gaza their basic rights.
