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

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. Still, flights usually run both ways (anyone want to write this in, fine, but I'm done).

Flying Delta to London and Elal from London to Israel, booked with delta points as one ticket. Will my suitcases go to Israel or will I have to pick up in London?

If it's one ticket you don't have to pick up the suitcases in London
