Air France, Transavia Halt Beirut Flights Until Tuesday

Air France and low-cost carrier Transavia France have suspended their flights between Paris and Beirut due to the "security situation" in Lebanon, a spokesman for the companies said Monday.

The announcement, which follows a similar decision by Germany's Lufthansa, came a day after Israel vowed to retaliate following rocket fire from Lebanon that killed 12 people in the Israeli-annexed Golan Heights.
