On a separate note, if BALPA was a bit stronger, it could be making its own security recommendations. Sadly, it seems too wrapped up in its own in-fighting.
Most other European operators flying there at the same time. Their security teams with guidance from teams on the ground will assess the risk and also keep BALPA advised.
If the risk isn't tolerable they don't fly (unlike some other operators) The decision may have been down to if crews stopover in TLV, as you know a lot of UK carriers go there and back - BA don't because they in your words "maximise revenue at the expense of everything else" (maybe the don't)
