True but hamas has been targeting the city of TelAviv and its surrounding citys and towns for weeks. Had MH not occured I dont believe the flights would have been CXed All hamas has to say is OK we will hold off firing any rockets into the greater TA area between these hrs so that everyone can get their planes and crews out, dont hold your breath for such an announcement, but you never know
