March 26, Pozirk<\/em>.<\/strong> The Belarusian flagship carrier Bie\u0142avija has cancelled its flights from Minsk to Tel Aviv, citing the closure of Israeli airspace to foreign carriers until April 16.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Passengers affected by the flight cancellations can request refunds at the point of purchase or reschedule their flight for another date, the airline said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bie\u0142avija, along with other airlines, cancelled flights to Israel following the launch of the military operation by the United States and Israel in Iran on February 28 and the killing of Iran\u2019s longtime ruler Ali Khamenei and other top officials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tehran retaliated by launching missile and drone strikes at Israel and Gulf states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The US Operation Epic Fury against Iran aims to destroy the Iranian missile industry, defeat the fleet, prevent nuclear weapons development and ensure freedom for the Iranian people, according to US President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka denounced the US-Israeli strikes on Iran as a \u201ctreacherous attack.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
