International flights cancelled over safety fears after Israel assembles troops at Gaza border Luke O Reilly
Hundreds of international flights to Tel Aviv were cancelled over safety fears, after Israeli troops massed at Gaza‘s border.
Days of violence between Jewish Israelis and the country s Arab minority worsened, with synagogues attacked and fighting breaking out on the streets of some communities.
With concern growing that the violence that flared on Monday could spiral out of control, the United States is sending an envoy, Hady Amr, to the region.
However, efforts to end the worst hostilities in years appear so far to have made no progress.
