War conditions halt cargo operations in Lebanon
The fighting between Israel and Hezbollah has caused problems for cargo movement in the Levant region of the Middle East. According to a customer bulletin from freight forwarder Expeditors International, Israeli bombardments have forced Lebanon to suspend cargo operations at the Beirut International Airport and at the sea port.
Israel’s Ben Gurion International Airport in Tel Aviv is open, but the ocean port in Haifa has operated sporadically during the past few days. The port of Ashdod in southern Israel is operational.
Air and ocean cargo continue to move for the time being from neighboring Jordan.
