Airlines around the world are suspending flights to Israel after a rocket fired by Hamas landed near Ben-Gurion International Airport, Israel’s main international airport.
Aviation authorities are prohibiting all U-S carriers from flying into Israel for at least 24 hours as officials monitor the situation.
Air France, Lufthansa, and Air Canada have also suspended flights. There’s heightened concern about flights in conflict zones in the wake of the last week’s attack on Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17.
