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)

Delta is scheduled to begin flying JFK direct to TLV on June 7, 2024. I booked for later date in June. I assume it is uncertain, but is Delta  likely to keep with that start date or postpone it?

Still no commitment to return,

"Our daily flight from Newark to Tel Aviv remains canceled through May 2. We continue to closely monitor the situation and will make decisions on all upcoming flights with a focus on the safety of our customers and crews."

Got cancellation email for UA85 on May 6th.

ETA just read that all flights cancelled till May 6th from USA and May 7th from TLV

Was the flight officially canceled? Were there *A flights for sale?
