US Carriers Suspend Travel to Israel by Carolyn Presutti The United States is prohibiting American carriers from flying to Israel's airport in Tel Aviv for 24 hours, because of rising violence between Israel and Hamas militants. The action was announced on Tuesday, after a rocket fired by Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip landed near the airport. As VOA's Carolyn Presutti tells us, international officials soon may have to determine which combat zones are too dangerous for commercial flights. __________________________________________________________________ [1]http://www.voanews.com/media/video/1963243.html References 1. http://www.voanews.com/media/video/1963243.html
