Here is a site with updated list of airlines flying or not flying:
https://www.passportcard.co.il/article/airlines-at-war/

If it says, for example:
לא (כל הטיסות מבוטלות עד ל05.09)

It means as of now they are not flying until Dec. 5, not including, meaning they are set to restart on Dec 5.

Many airlines keep on pushing off the restart date.

List sorted by destination airport code (for those who prefer this format) - Last updated 11/13 (12/15: added Aegean and Azerbaijan)
Note that daily refers to flights but not necessarily airlines. List derived from Ben Gurion flight boards but is only from Ben Gurion.

I had a ticket on Lufthansa (booked through United) from TLV-FRA on August 27. Why did they just cancel my ticket?
Edit it looks like they also cancelled the 4:45 AM flight on the 27th

I have a delta award flight booked for September 6 NYC-TLV, it looks like it will be canceled in the next few days. Will they rebook me into El Al even if there is no award availably for El Al flight and is only available to purchase with cash?

Also, will they be able to change me to a flight on El Al from EWR or only from JFK?

If they are selling the seat on delta.com you should be able to get moved over to el al. JFK/EWR shouldn't matter.
Are you in Y or J?

They use the 777 to ATH, why can't they use to some airport in the US
