Washington (CNN) -- The United States has lifted its ban on U.S. carriers flying to and from Tel Aviv, Israel. The Federal Aviation Administration's move came Wednesday night, a day and a half after it imposed the prohibition over security concerns amid renewed Mideast violence. Airlines moved quickly to restore service. Delta Air Lines, United Airlines and US Airways said Thursday they are resuming flights to Israel's busiest airport, Ben Gurion International. The European Aviation Safety Agency also has reversed its recommendation that airlines avoid flying to Ben Gurion. Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, lobbied Washington to reverse the extraordinary order the FAA put in place after a Hamas rocket struck close to the airport Tuesday.
