The circular issued by Rafic Hariri International Airport in Beirut, located on the southern edge of the capital, did not indicate any current escalation on the border..
Recently, daily exchanges of fire have occurred between Israel and the Lebanese Hezbollah group in the region, but they have been relatively contained..
The circular was issued after the Israeli army expanded its air and ground attacks on the Gaza Strip overnight.
In 2006, the airport’s runways were subjected to Israeli air strikes, forcing it to close. This was as part of retaliatory operations after Hezbollah captured two Israeli soldiers..
