Romanian plane brings back stranded Lebanese from Sharm el-Sheikh
by Naharnet Newsdesk 9 hours
A first Romanian plane carrying Lebanese citizens who were stranded in Sharm el-Sheikh due to the Israel-Iran war arrived Monday morning at the Rafik Hariri International Airport.
A statement issued by Lebanon's civil aviation authority had said that it followed up on the issue with the travel agency at the instructions of Public Works and Transportation Minister Fayez Rasamny.
Similar flights are scheduled to arrive in Beirut later throughout the day.
The unprecedented Israel-Iran confrontation -- involving the use of ballistic and interception missiles, warplanes and drones -- has prompted neighboring countries to close their airspace for lengthy hours and several airlines to cancel flights, which has created travel chaos.

Netanyahu suggests killing Iran's supreme leader would 'end' conflict
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu suggested Monday that assassinating Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, would "end the conflict" between the two arch-foes. "It's not going to escalate the conflict; it's going to end the conflict," Netanyahu told ABC News in an interview when asked about reports that U.S. President Donald Trump vetoed an Israeli plan to kill the supreme leader out of concern it would intensify the Iran-Israel showdown. "The 'forever war' is what Iran wants, and they're bringing us to the brink of nuclear war," Netanyahu said. "In fact, what Israel is doing is preventing this, bringing an end to this aggression, and we can only do so by standing up to the forces of evil." AFP
