Ly 3 & 21 tlv-jfk ?

I've noticed LY has been operating somewhat-unusual flights to JFK recently.

On 14 March (Wed.), 19 March (Mon.), and 21 March (Wed.), a 777 operated:
LY 3 TLV 2345 0620+ JFK

The return flights were the following day:
LY 14 JFK 1135 0410+ TLV
LY 14 JFK 1500 0735+ TLV
LY 14 JFK 1130 0505+ TLV

Anyone know why they operated such an unusual schedule, as opposed to adding daytime flights?

This week, LY has started operating LY 21/22 using 789 (starting Sun. 25 March):
LY 21 TLV 1350 1835 JFK
LY 22 JFK 2100 1425+ TLV

If these times look familiar, it's because LY loaded this schedule, effective 25 March:
LY 25 TLV 1350 1835 EWR
LY 26 EWR 2100 1425+ TLV

Since EWR isn't slot controlled, does anyone have a theory why the airport was changed?

As far as I can tell, the current NYC schedule is:
Overnight / Early AM: LY 1 JFK - 744 & LY 27 EWR - 789
Morning: LY 7 JFK - 772
Early afternoon: LY 21 JFK - 789
Late afternoon/evening: LY 11 JFK - 772
