BERLIN (AA) - German flag carrier Lufthansa on Wednesday extended the suspension of flights to the Middle East crisis region, citing security concerns.

The connections to Tel Aviv, Beirut, Tehran as well as to Amman and Erbil are suspended until Tuesday, Aug. 13, the Lufthansa Group announced in Frankfurt. ​​​​​​​

The flight ban applies to all airlines in the group and to freight and passenger aircraft alike. In addition to the core airline, the Lufthansa Group also includes Swiss, Austrian, Brussels Airlines and Eurowings.

The Middle East's security situation has deteriorated following the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran and the Israeli army's claim of killing a top Hezbollah commander in Beirut.
