US cancels TLV, DL 747 diverts to CDG
Things are really coming to a head over there. Rockets within 2-3 miles of the airport.
Delta Flight 468, a Boeing 747 with 273 passengers and 17 crew members, diverted to Paris on Tuesday after reports of a rocket near Tel Aviv, the airline said.
US Airways also canceled a flight to Israel Tuesday. Flight 796, which began in Los Angeles, was canceled in Philadelphia before leaving for Tel Aviv.
United Airlines canceled flights 84 and 90 from Newark to Tel Aviv.
Airlines cancel flights to Israel over rocket threat

Interesting how all of the "experts" on cable news that say they would have banned flights over Ukraine have never mentioned the flights over Iraq (or Afghanistan for that matter!)
