El Al grounds fleet
El Al has grounded its entire fleet amid a financial crisis.
Flights were suspended after unions announced pilots would not fly.
According to reports in the Israeli media, the airline had failed to reach agreements with unions about pay and working conditions.
A report released earlier this week showed El Al lost $140 million (£112 million) in the first quarter of 2020.
