FAA suspends flights to Israel

The US Federal Aviation Administration bars flights to Israel Tuesday evening for 24 hours, citing security concerns.

The notice comes after US carrier Delta said it was indefinitely suspending flights between the United States and Israel.

US Airways also announces it is suspending flights, but only until Thursday.

The moves were announced hours after shrapnel from a rocket damaged a home in the central Israeli town of Yehud, which abuts Israel’s main international airport.
