Out his flying hours, passengers grew desperate inside, with some banging on windows and others suffering panic attacks during the long wait.

Meanwhile, the Israel-Iran conflict drags into its sixth day with both sides launching new strikes, leaving evacuations in the region even more urgent. As tensions rise, tensions rise.
