Israel's Ben Gurion Airport Halts Flights over Gaza Rockets

Israel's Ben Gurion international airport suspended air traffic on Tuesday following a massive barrage of rockets launched towards nearby Tel Aviv by Hamas militants in Gaza, the civil aviation authority said. 

"During the massive rocket fire... flights were stopped to protect the country's skies," aviation authority spokesman Ofer Lefler told AFP.
