According to Israeli media, UK low-cost carrier easyJet canceled thousands of flights from the occupation to Europe until the end of April after Iran hit the occupation with retaliatory strikes.
On Sunday, the firm notified on its website that flights to and from "Tel Aviv" would be paused, but did not say when.
EasyJet spokesperson Andy Cockburn told The Times of Israel via email that the business had delayed flights to and from "Tel Aviv" until April 21 due to developments in "Israel". Meanwhile, tickets on booking platforms are now only available beginning in early May, according to the Kan broadcaster.
The cancelation occurs before the Passover holiday, when many Israelis travel overseas for vacation. The Kan broadcaster said that the affected destinations include the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Italy, and other European countries.
EasyJet has yet to tell the majority of its consumers about this move. They are anticipated to get notices in the following days.
Meanwhile, KLM canceled all flights to and from "Tel Aviv" on Monday while in direct touch with Dutch authorities, airline spokesperson Suzanne van Rijnbach told RIA Novosti.
Israeli media: 'Israel' suffered strategic failure in Iran response
Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth said on Monday that the night of Iran's response to the targeting of the consulate in Damascus was a "strategic farce" for the occupation entity.
The daily spoke of a "strategic failure" suffered by "Israel", noting that "Israel was enslaved for two weeks, amid tension that paralyzed it, after it carried out the assassination" of the senior IRGC advisors in the Iranian consulate in Syria two weeks ago.
Liraz Margalit, a doctor of digital psychology and behavioral economy, stated that "Iran achieved victory long before its attack" against "Israel" in its retaliation for the bombing of its consulate.
She said Iran's triumph was embodied by a "craze" among Israeli society and the media, amid nerve-wracking anticipation and endless speculation over the response.
In an article published in Israeli newspaper Maariv, Margalit expressed confusion toward a statement made by a former Israeli Air Force general saying "Iran has failed and would have to think of different ways to achieve victory in the future."
The Israeli doctor responded, saying, "The gist of the story is that Iran sent a clear message, which is: the matter is finished. The operation was already known and its end result was clear."
She also said the general's statement was "so wrong that she had to rub her eyes and ask herself if these were the people they [Israelis] have to count on for field assessments."
She reaffirmed that Iran did not fail, noting Iranians are not delusional, but rational, and knew exactly what they were doing as every step was well-calculated.
