LOT spokesman Krzysztof Moczulski said the Polish airline had been scheduled to provide an average of three connections a week from Warsaw to Tel Aviv until the end of May.

"The resumption of flights will depend on how the situation in Tel Aviv develops," he added.

In the region's worst hostilities in years, Palestinian militants fired more rockets into Israel's commercial heartland on Thursday as Israel kept up a punishing bombing campaign in Gaza and massed tanks and troops on the enclave's border, the Reuters news agency reported.

Poland’s foreign ministry has called on all sides to put an end to violence.
