Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) late on Tuesday announced that it has stopped all its flights from using Iranian airspace following Iran’s missile attack on Israel.

The PIA issued a direction to all captains and flight operations of the airline in this regard.

“The plans of all flights are being restructured to avoid using Iranian airspace,” PIA spokesperson Athar Awan said in a statement.

“Iranian airspace will not be used until the situation becomes clear. The PIA uses two corridors through Iranian airspace, northern corridor is used for flights to Canada and Turkey and southern corridor for flights to UAE, Bahrain, Doha, and Saudi Arabia,” said the spokesperson.

Meanwhile, IDF on Tuesday night released footage of hundreds of Iranian missiles as they rained over the Old City in Jerusalem on Tuesday in a major escalation of the raging conflict in the Middle East.

The IDF is in its statement said that the Iranian regime targets everyone, as the site is a holy site for Muslims, Christians and Jews.

In a post on X, the IDF said, “Watch as Iranian missiles rain over the Old City in Jerusalem, a holy site for Muslims, Christians and Jews. This is the target of the Iranian regime: everyone.”

The IDF further said that it intercepted ‘a large number’ of the 180 ballistic missiles launched from Iran. The Times of Israel reports that Israelis have now been told they can leave shelters after Iranian attack of 180 ballistic missiles

Benny Gantz, head of Israel’s opposition National Unity Party, condemned Iran’s attack.

“Iran crossed the border again. The State of Israel has capabilities that have been developed over the years to strike at Iran and the government has full backing to act with strength and determination. It’s either us or them, and the mission is clear: Whoever attacks – will be attacked, and will be hurt,” he said.

Contrary to the statement of the IDF, Iran’s state-run media channel, Press TV, claimed, “80% of missiles fired at occupied territories hit targets”.

The Iranian mission to the UN said that Iran’s legal, rational, and legitimate response to the terrorist acts of the Zionist regime has been duly carried out.
