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.

It’s been all over Israeli media. For people who are following the facts on the ground, it’s embarrassing how easily they release articles.

Not the wildest place for the info to come from. I'm sure that they need to know that they are going to have the staffing for the flights...

FA rumors are the worst rumors. Even worse than YWN posting that something is confirmed.
