US and European airlines suspend flights to Israel
US and European airlines suspended flights to Israel's Ben Gurion airport after a rocket landed one mile (1.6km) away, the BBC reads.
The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) ordered three US carriers that fly to Israel - Delta, United and US Airways - to halt flights for 24 hours.
Europe's aviation regulator is also urging airlines not to fly to Tel Aviv.
The suspension prompted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to ask the US to renew flights to Israel.
Mr. Netanyahu asked US Secretary of State John Kerry for help lifting the FAA ban, which comes amidst heightened scrutiny over flights near conflict zones.
