Incoming and outgoing flights in Israel will be affected by the massive Russian military maneuvers off the Syrian coast, Israel’s Airports Authority cautioned Tuesday.

The Airports Authority informed airlines that due to a Russian military exercise carried out in the eastern part of the Mediterranean basin, there may be changes in the flight routes in the Cyprus area that could affect international flight routes to and from Ben-Gurion International Airport, causing delays in landings and takeoffs, Ynet reported.

Syrian forces have been preparing for an onslaught on the Idlib province in the country, the last rebel stronghold, while the Russian military has been amassing unprecedented forces off the Syrian coast that would lend support to Assad.

The Russian Defense Ministry announced last week that it deployed 25 ships, including a missile cruiser, and 30 jets for the maneuvers.

机场管理局通知航空公司，由于俄罗斯在地中海盆地东部进行的军事演习，塞浦路斯地区的飞行路线可能会发生变化，从而可能影响往返本古里安国际机场的国际飞行路线。YNE报道说，NG推迟着陆和起飞。

叙利亚军队一直在准备对该国最后一个叛军据点伊德利卜省发动攻击，而俄罗斯军队在叙利亚海岸外聚集了史无前例的部队，为阿萨德提供支持。

俄罗斯国防部上周宣布，部署了25艘军舰，包括一艘导弹巡洋舰和30架喷气式战斗机。
