Cameras have captured images of hundreds of Israeli Occupation settlers lining up at Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion Airport, as regional tensions escalate due to Israeli Occupation's ongoing aggression against Gaza, which has now entered its 306th day.

In this tense atmosphere, "Israel" is bracing for a possible retaliatory strike from Iran and Hezbollah, both of which have vowed to respond to Israeli Occupation's recent assassinations of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran and senior Hezbollah commander Fouad Shukr in a missile strike on Beirut’s southern suburbs.

International Efforts to Prevent War

The United States has stressed the importance of preventing further escalation in the region and avoiding a full-scale war in the Middle East.

On Tuesday, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced that the US has directly communicated to Israeli Occupation that "no one should escalate this conflict," as the region awaits an anticipated Iranian response to Haniyeh's assassination.

Blinken also mentioned that US partners in the Middle East have conveyed this same message directly to Iran. Despite ongoing international diplomatic efforts to defuse the situation, Iran has insisted on its intention to retaliate, stating that international mediation will not deter its response.

Israeli Occupation on High Alert

In response to the heightened threat, Israeli Occupation has declared a state of high alert across various sectors and has bolstered its security measures in anticipation of a potential attack.

These actions reflect the level of tension and concern over the possibility of an escalation in the region, which is already affecting travel and daily activities within Israeli Occupation.

Impact on Travel

The regional tensions and Iran's anticipated retaliation have also disrupted travel, with several international airlines canceling flights to Middle Eastern countries. Many nations have urged their citizens to leave Lebanon and Israeli Occupation.

As the potential Iranian response draws nearer, many "Israeli" settlers have rushed to Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv, seeking flights to safety and abandoning the land they once claimed as their own.
