Historical records show a pattern of flight diversions linked to spikes in Israeli‑Palestinian violence, notably the 2014 Gaza war and the 2021 Sheikh Jarrah protests, where airlines rerouted flights amid heightened threat alerts. These precedents reveal that security responses are often reactive, shaped by recent escalations rather than proactive risk mitigation. Recognising this cycle helps explain why a single threat report can trigger systemic disruption.
