The Federal Aviation Administration is canceling flights into Tel Aviv, Israel until further notice after a rocket attack occurred nearby. The flights will be halted for at least 24 hours.

Delta announced earlier Tuesday that they would be canceling all flights to Israel. US Airways and United Airlines followed suit by canceling flights into Israel. Then the FAA decided to ban all U.S. flights to Israel.

The rocket landed about one mile from the airport.

"The FAA will continue to monitor and evaluate the situation," FAA said in a statement. "Updated instructions will be provided to U.S. airlines as soon as conditions permit, but no later than 24 hours" from the lat order.

Delta Flight 468 was headed for Tel Aviv from New York's JFK airport Tuesday. It as diverted to Paris after the reports of a rocket in Tel Aviv. The flight pattern between JFK and Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion airport was suspsended indefinitely.

United Airlines canceled their flights from Newark (New Jersey) airport to Tel Aviv.

A longhaul flight which began in Los Angeles on US Airways was canceled in Philadelphia before it was set to depart for Tel Aviv.

The U.S. carriers said they are working closely with the FAA and continuing to monitor the situation in Israel.

This isn't the first warning from the FAA and other agencies. The State Department has been warning people to avoid travel to Israel unless it is "essential," since Feb. 3 due to increasing tensions in the area.

Rocket attacks from Gaza have hit multiple locations in Israel since July 8, including Tel Aviv. Some have been intercepted by a missile defense system, others have caused damge and injuries.

European Airlines have also suspended flights in the region, according to Reuters. Air France, KLM, and Lufthansa joined in along with Air Berlin.
