ROCKET LANDS NEAR BEN GURION AIRPORT, CAUSING FLIGHT CANCELLATIONS

A Hamas rocket landed near the airport, and it's led to some flights being momentarily cancelled, for how long we cannot know:
In a sign of increased caution about flying near combat zones, US and European airlines halted flights to Israel Tuesday after a rocket landed near Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion Airport.

Delta Air Lines and United Airlines suspended service between the US and Israel indefinitely. US Airways scrapped its one flight to Tel Aviv Tuesday. Germany's Lufthansa and Air France also suspended flights. The actions come days after a Malaysia Airlines jet was shot down over eastern Ukraine with 298 people on board.
It's terrible, and shows how dangerous the Hamas' arsenal has become.

Hamas has just ended any thought of a "two-state solution." Cutting off Tel Aviv from the air is a drastic problem. Israel can't tolerate it - it's truly an existential threat.
