Three US airlines have cancelled all flights to Israel following rocket fire near Tel Aviv airport.
Delta said one of its planes from New York to Ben Gurion Airport had to be diverted to Paris on Tuesday because of the missile fire.
Flight 468 had 273 passengers and 17 crew on board.
US Airways and United Airlines also cancelled flights to Israel.
Delta said its service between Ben Gurion and John F Kennedy International Airport in New York would be suspended until further notice.
The airline said: "Delta continues to work closely with US and other government resources to monitor the situation."
Israel launched a major offensive on July 8 on the Gaza Strip to stop Hamas militants firing rockets into Israel, and the fighting continues.
On Tuesday, a Hamas rocket hit a town near Ben Gurion Airport.
Israeli police spokeswomen Luba Samri told the Associated Press news agency the missile damaged a house and slightly wounded one Israeli.
White House press secretary Josh Earnest said at Tuesday's daily briefing there were no plans for US aviation chiefs to warn against flying into Israeli air space.
The Federal Aviation Authority issued such an advisory about Ukraine earlier this year before last week's downing of a passenger jet over that country, killing all 298 people on board.
