The Tel Aviv Open tennis tournament scheduled for next month has been canceled because of the Israel-Hamas war.
The ATP men's tour said the decision was made after consultation with security experts and with the safety of players and fans in mind.
“The violence and acts of terror witnessed in Israel are beyond comprehension,” ATP chairman Andrea Gaudenzi said. “We strongly condemn any form of terrorism and mourn the loss of innocent lives across this conflict. We hope and pray for peace in the region.”
The event was scheduled for early November.
In last year's final, Novak Djokovic defeated Marin Cilic in straight sets to take the title.

Gareth Southgate announced on Tuesday he is leaving his role as England manager after they lost to Spain in the European Championship final.
Southgate took charge in 2016 and oversaw 102 games, leading the team to the World Cup semi-finals in 2018 as well as the Euros finals in 2021 and 2024.
England lost 2-1 to Spain in Sunday's showpiece and Southgate said after the game that he would discuss his future in charge of the national team.
"As a proud Englishman, it has been the honor of my life to play for England and to manage England. It has meant everything to me, and I have given it my all," Southgate said in a statement.
"But it's time for change and for a new chapter. Sunday's final in Berlin against Spain was my final game as England manager.
"I have had the privilege of leading a large group of players in 102 games. Every one of them has been proud to wear the three lions on their shirts, and they have been a credit to their country in so many ways."
England have only won the World Cup in 1966 but Southgate transformed the side which became a force to reckon with in tournaments after he took charge in 2016.
They also reached the quarter-finals at the 2022 World Cup, a year after losing to Italy on penalties in the Euros final.
