German airline group Lufthansa has said it planned to resume flights to Tel Aviv from January 8, after the service was suspended in early October following the Hamas attacks on Israel, AFP reports.

The Lufthansa Group airlines will initially “offer a total of 20 weekly connections to and from Tel Aviv,” it said in a statement, corresponding “to around 30 percent of the regular flight schedule”.

It added that flights to Beirut, suspended since October 13, were resumed on Friday.
