United and Delta Airlines have suspended daily flights to Israel, citing security concerns amid rising tensions in the Middle East.

Bradley International Airport does not offer direct flights to Israel, but this may affect connecting flights.

The decision comes after a Hamas political leader was assassinated in Iran's capital, Tehran. Iran blamed Israel for the strike, with its foreign ministry saying the U.S. also bears responsibility.

Both airlines said they will continue to monitor and assess the situation, indicating potential flight resumptions if tensions ease.
