Lufthansa Extends Tel Aviv Flights Suspension Amid Conflict
Imagine a big airline called Lufthansa.
They've stopped flying to Tel Aviv, a city in Israel, because of fighting happening nearby.
This suspension was first put in place after a rocket landed close to the airport, hurting some people.
The people who sent the rocket say they're helping others.
Lufthansa hasn't said exactly why they're keeping the flights grounded, but it's because things are unsafe right now.
The fighting continues, with threats from both sides, causing the airline to stay cautious.
Lufthansa extended its Tel Aviv flight suspension to June 8.
The decision was made due to the ongoing conflict.
The initial suspension followed a rocket attack near the airport.
Huthi rebels launched the initial rocket.
Israel's defense minister warned of consequences for Huthi attacks.
