Flight RUH-IST two days from now already showing 5+ hour delay

My Riyadh-Istanbul flight for Tuesday AM is already showing delayed over 5 hours. The same schedule for Monday AM is showing the same delay.

Is this indicating they plan to cancel it? I know flights out of Riyadh right now are in doubt but then wouldn’t they wait till the day of to cancel? Or is this a way to get the crew to time out and then reschedule me rather than cancel and rebook me now.

If I know for sure that flight won’t depart I will decidedly make alternative plans, otherwise I will wait and hope it has a chance to depart.
