Why stop at ATH on LH694 ?
I don't know for sure but due to the rather long stop at ATH, which is too much to just change crew, potentially there is currently a curfew in Place at TLV or LH doesn't want their plane arriving at night there, as it would be an easier target?

According to flightradar24, LH694 was FRA 21:35 - TLV 02:40 until 10 July. Then the schedule changed to FRA 22:05 - ATH 01:15 / 04:00 - TLV 06:00 for a few days until all flights to TLV were cancelled on 22 July.
It could be to avoid arriving at night as daumueller suggested. It could also be to change crews in ATH, so the same crew could operate ATH-TLV-FRA without the need to overnight in TLV.

As far as I can see at FRA LH is operating their flights to TLV again and with long haul equipment (higher number of seats available). Don't know if this is a stable operation yet.
