United Airlines announces it will resume flight services from New York to Tel Aviv with a single flight on June 5.

The US airline says it will restart its second daily flight between the two cities the following day.

“This resumption follows a detailed assessment of operational considerations for the region and close work with the unions who represent our flight attendants and pilots,” United says in a statement.

United halted flight services between New York’s Newark airport and Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport on May 4 after a ballistic missile from Yemen struck an area at Israel’s main international airport.
