Fady el-Hassan, Beirut airport director, denied to L'Orient Today reports indicating that the airport would suspend all flights from Sunday at 9 p.m. until Monday at 6 a.m. This information, which has been refuted, was circulated by at least one account on X. Earlier today, the Iranian news agency Mehr News Agency reported, citing an official announcement, that all flights in Iranian airports would be canceled starting tonight at 9 p.m. local time until Monday at 6 a.m. local time.
This decision follows heightened tensions between Israel and Iran, particularly after the recent Iranian attack and Israel's threat of retaliation.
