CHICAGO, Aug 8 (Reuters) - United Airlines said

on Wednesday it has suspended its flights to Tel Aviv for the

foreseeable future and plans to resume them when it is safe for

its customers and crew.

Many airlines globally are revising their schedules to avoid

Iranian and Lebanese airspace while also calling off flights to

Israel and Lebanon amid growing fears of a possible broader

conflict in the region after the killing of senior members of

militant groups Hamas and Hezbollah.
