On the 28th (local time), the EU Commission and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) issued a statement saying, "There has been an overall increase in airstrikes and a deterioration in the security situation," and advised airlines "not to operate within Lebanese and Israeli airspace." They added that this measure is currently valid until the 31st of next month.
