Americans hoping to visit Israel are out of luck.

Delta and US Airways canceled flights to Ben Gurion airport in Tel Aviv on Tuesday.

Both airlines cited U.S. Federal Aviation Association concerns about safety.

The decision comes as Hamas fired more rockets into Israel -- with one hitting the outskirts of the airport -- injuring two people.

It isn't clear at this point how long the travel ban will last.
