A Delta Airlines Boeing 747 aircraft from New York which was bound for Tel Aviv, turned around at the last minute on Tuesday after a rocket reportedly landed near Tel Aviv�s Ben Gurion Airport. In the aftermath of the incident, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on Tuesday issued a ban prohibiting all American air carriers from making flights to Israel �for a period of up to 24 hours,� Daily Mail reports. The agency said it would continue to monitor the situation, and that �updated instructions will be provided to U.S. airlines as soon as conditions permit, but no later than 24 hours� from the time the ban was enforced.
