Italy’s ITA Airways announced on Saturday evening that it was canceling all flights to and from Israel through Monday, July 27, citing operational reasons amid escalating tensions with Iran and growing regional security concerns.

The move made ITA Airways, Italy’s national carrier, the first airline to announce cancellations following the latest escalation with Iran.

In an official statement, the airline said flights to and from Tel Aviv were being canceled for "operational reasons." It did not specify whether the cancellations resulted from new security directives, changes to flight-route planning, crew considerations, or its internal assessment of regional developments.
