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.

exTLV or exEWR?
from UA regarding leaving TLV the 18th:
 Important message regarding your upcoming travel to/from Tel Aviv (TLV) on 5/18/2025 for reservations xxxxx
Thank you for choosing United for your travel plans. We wanted to let you know that due to current instability in the area, we are suspending flights between Newark and Tel Aviv temporarily.

Nothing new. If UA says canceled through the 18th, then they can't have ex-TLV flights for the 19th.

The only rule when it comes to flying is that it is all UP IN THE AIR!
