My flight from Tel Aviv to Seoul tomorrow night was just cancelled by Korean Air after Israel turned an entire planeload of people (130 Koreans and 70 foreigners) around and sent them back (after taking 12 Israelis off the plane in Tel Aviv in full hazmat suits).
I have managed to get a full refund as a result of this.
I'd been trying for a week or more to cancel with a full refund because I could see how things were developing.

oh wow that pretty serious! So they took the locals off the plane and then sent the plane off?

Yep! Landed the plane well away from the Terminal. Took the Israelis off in full hazmat suits, refuelled the plane and sent it back.
It will really suck for the 70 non-Koreans who were probably just transiting Korea and now will be stuck there. This will likely include some Aussies as Korea was one of the few ways left to get from Australia to Israel.
