This was what Israel was facing before this ban was rescinded.

As the article says, it’s a “score” for Hamas, and that’s unfortunate, but these airlines were canceling flights on their own, even before the FAA ever uttered a word.

On Tuesday, four major U.S. airline carriers announced their decision to cancel flights heading to Israel indefinitely, one specifically citing the danger of Gaza rocket attacks near Israel’s Ben Gurion airport.

Shortly afterwards, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said it told all U.S. airlines that flights to the airport are prohibited for 24 hours, according to The Associated Press.
