bloomberg says he's flying on el al airlines to tel aviv tonight to show solidarity with the israeli people, but for now those flight restrictions remain in full effect and mola lenghi is live from dulles with a look at the full impact. >> reporter: d.c. area airports actually don't have direct flights from the d.c. area airports to israel, so d.c. officials tell me it's difficult to quantify the impact that this is going to have on d.c. passengers. also difficult to quantify at least in terms of time is how long that these flight restrictions will be in place. now obviously this all stems from the ongoing deadly conflict between hamas and israel after a rocket landed in an area near the airport in tel aviv today. the faa decided to put a 24 hour halt on all israeli bound flights from the u.s. delta and united airlines took it a step further suspending service indefinitely. then tonight germany, france and canada all joined suit suspending their flights to tel aviv due to the same safety concerns. we should note while these flight restrictions are mostly due to the recent fighting in

the billionaire is flying on israel's el al airline, which is exempt from the ban. he says he disagrees with this ban and says flight restrictions gives hamas an undeserved victory. bloomberg is scheduled to meet with israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu. >>> new at 11:00, here come the drought police. if you waste water, they could be knocking on your door. tonight they have been approved and funded. but is this a good use of public money? here is nbc bay area's ian cull. >> reporter: after presenting all the evidence, the so-called water cops were approved. the santa clara valley water district board agreed to spend half million to hire as many as ten new people. their job, responding to complaints after water waste and to help bring the overall water conservation to the 20% goal. >> and as a reminder that hey, it's not a business as usual year. this is an exceptional drought. we have to take exceptional action. >> reporter: district management likes to call them water educators because they won't actually write tickets or enforce anything. instead, they'll

el al airlines made a statement this past week saying they are predicting a $15 million revenue loss for their third quarter. based on -- neil: on the part of americans traveling there? >> from that standpoint, it's not just americans but global travel going into israel, with a perception where there is so much conflict at the moment, people don't want to go there from a leisure standpoint, and then business travelers, most corporations and companies would avoid putting their employees in those types of situations at the moment. neil: what businesses think all right, we used to think about getting our employees from point a to point b. now we have to figure what they're flying over in the meantime. if you are over eastern ukraine, you worry about what's going on there. if you are flying over the middle east particularly, the israeli border, you worry what's going on there. we hear companies saying we are going to go slow on that. what do you make of that? >> with today's technology, we can use skype. fear is debilitating, the only way to overcome the conflict of fear is being knowled

as some of israel's el al airliners already carry. >> there are thousands of shoulder-fired missiles in the hands of terrorists from around the world. but no commercial plane in the united states fleet is defended. that's just wrong. >> reporter: scores of those missiles, called man pads, were looted from libya in 2011, after the fall of moammar gadhafi. many of them untraced. >> they don't have to hit the plane. just the firing of it against a plane will ground u.s. civil aviation to a halt. >> reporter: these weapons only pose a threat near takeoff and landing. to planes at low altitude. unlike the missile that struck mh-17 at 33,000 feet. over ukraine. and the defense systems come at a steep cost. $1 million per plane. in 2008, american airlines tested one system at the request of homeland security. it was not put into wide use. the faa said this week it is not considering requiring such systems. >> it makes no sense for the world's fleet. because the remedy is very simple. you keep commercial airliners out of threat areas. you don't need the missile systems. >> reporter: the thre

israel's el al airline installed a system following that similar incident in 2002. >> this is the first clear overt and virtually successful attack on a civil aviation. >> soon came calls for u.s. carriers to adopt similar antimissile measures. in 2003 it was the commercial airline missile defense act. that proposed legislation called for the pentagon to equip planes with antimissile technology and an estimated cost of $1 million per plane. with nearly 7,000 planes in service it would have run upward of 7 billion dollars. a cost that was just too high. >> new york senator charles schumer supported had idea then. >> the danger with the shoulder held missiles is right now. >> ten years later his support has not changed. they say the $1 million cost of installing a plane with antimissile technology is comparable to outfitting a plane with an inflight entertainment system. >> we can't let this happen to an american passenger plane. >> schumer points to technology from defense contractor northrup grumman called the guardian. >> the system's sensors automatically detect it and track it. >> th

and the israeli el al airlines does. something like this, there is really no defense at altitude. >> let's put the picture. what does this picture of the plane tell you about which areas of the plane was most affected by the shrapnel? >> well, as you can see, i've drawn three lines across here. these are the major break sections as to what hatched with the aircraft. the nose you can see off to the left. in the intersection section there the part that first hit the ground. the nose continued to travel and ended up in another city. the rest of the aircraft you see from the second red line back, that remained in the air, remained flying. although the tail had been damaged. if you look at the wing that is closest to us here, that wing was also hit with shrapnel. i think that the explosion occurred somewhere off of the left side of the aircraft. >> didn't stand a chance? >> really didn't. >> no, no. this aircraft is not maneuvering and was not practicing any kind of defense. there was nothing you could do. and it would have b

they took the el-al airline to europe. then from europe, they flew back.traveled with several people and went to amsterdam in the hotel and returned yesterday. in a sense, i felt like moses, i had been in the promised land and was trying to get out of promised land, and even when we were finally coming into atlanta, there was a storm as you know yesterday, so we were diverted to knoxville, so it was very frustrating, we came home and we were convinced it was the right thing and we have two other families that are still there and will be returning one tomorrow and one on monday. >> let me ask you this question, do you think that the faa acted wisely in canceling your flight? well, actually delta canceled your flight. do you think that was a wise decision? >> i'm not going to second guess what they do and what the motives were, whether it was politics or a real concern or whether there were protocols that are in place. all i can say the airport was filled with tourists and el-al had no problems and british airways was also flying. were we up set about it? of

that british airways is still flying into ben-gurion airport as is, of course, israel's famous airline, el alare airlines that consider themselves continuing to fly in here. rafi, what about private jets? are they still coming in? >> yes, of course. just this morning the secretary of state has landed at ben-gurion airport as part of his shuttle diplomacy in an attempt to -- liz: so, marian, that brings up the point if it's good enough for the is secretary of state, why is it not okay for the rest of these flights. >> a mile away is not much when it comes to aviation at all, especially when you're talking about a dynamic air space. i think the fact of the matter is that u.s. citizens usually are appreciative of the fact that we're being very careful about their safety in circumstances around the world. it's not just with this particular situation. faa is monitoring a number of -- liz: yeah. in fact, we can put that map up again. there are all kinds of alerts when it comes to the faa saying please don't fly around here. i think, rafi, perhaps israel might be getting painted with the same brush.

joining us to talk about this the former director of security for el al airlines, isaac yeffet.of all, your thoughts on the ban into -- it was in response to a rocket -- a strike that landed about a mile from the airport. that seems to make sense, does it not? >> no. >> no? >> i don't think this is the reason to instruct the u.s. airlines to stop flying to israel. two weeks the war between israel and the terrorist organization hamas was day and night and every day hamas sent rockets toward israel. between 100 and 150 rockets every day. nothing happens. the airlines are flying in a secure area. the rockets cannot hit the aircraft. israel invented anti-missiles by the name of iron dome that blow any missile that might cause any damage. so nothing happened in the war so -- >> i understand where you're coming from here. but from the other point of view, from the american point of view, from our point of view in terms of airline security. we're not talking about passengers getting on a plane going through security. we are talking about an occasion during the calamity, the chaos of wa

airlines, you cannot fly into tel aviv, that remains in effect for up to another 24 hours. >> el al, many of their claims are equipped with antiballistic technology, so it can help defend itself. do you expect more airlines to deploy this technology now? >> no, i don't. the reason el al is a unique reason. they also had a plane fired on when it was back in africa, back in 2003 time frame. they decided to put flight guard which essentially dispenses flares when they are notify they might be in the sights of a pocket or missile. they generate heat sources which could divert the missile. but it's a costly system, and i don't think you'll see other airlines decide to do it. you're looking at very expensive remedy, if you will, to put those on planes and fly them around the world. >> thanks so much, phil lebeau. let's bring in peter brooks and our own michelle caruso-cabrera. peter, we want to start off with you. is this flight ban really about safety? or is it meant to put pressure on israel and hamas to reach a cease-fire? >> i hope it's not political. i hope it's about safety. of course

el al, as you point out, is continuing to fly that is the israeli national airline. it has always flown, regardless of what has been going on within or without of israel. but the fact that the u.s. carrier, especially major airlines like delta airlines and united airlines have not said when they plan to restore their flights, they have said it's indefinite, that is troubling to the israeli government, the prime minister, the transportation minister. they both appeal to the u.s. to say, look, you should restore the flights. it is safe at ben gurion. we should point out that hamas has been trying to hit that airport for some time. and they stated it publicly that was their intent. they issued a warning to airlines. so this is exactly the sort of thing the government feared would happen. it's become a real pr nightmare. >> yeah, it sure sounds like it. also, we know of course that secretary kerry is in egypt, trying to broker some sort of ceasefire. do we know what reaction he is having, or if this is speeding up any ceasefire talks? >> well, of course, you know, it has

it does not apply to israel's state airline el al. former of new york city, flew over there to show it's safe. >>> fox news alert now, the runoff election for the republican senate nomination. david per do you narrowly defeating jack kingston. what does that mean for the general election because it could decide the balance of power in the senate. >> let's talk to him right now. he joins us live from georgia. congratulations, sir. >> thank you, good morning. >> how did you do it? >> well, i think our message resonated around the state that the debt, the jobs and the economy right now are the critical issues around the state. we talked about alternatives to that. my opponent served this state very well for three decades and now we're going to be shoulder to shoulder to take our policies out to the voters of georgia this fall. >> the question out there, too, we saw in the last presidential election mitt romney getting hammered for being a successful businessman. do we see your opponent getting ready to use those arguments against your su

former new york city mayor michael bloomberg flew to tel aviv on the israeli airline el al last nightow of support. bloomberg urged the faa to permit u.s. airlines to fly to israel. now, overnight, huge explosions lit up the gaza strip sky as the israeli assault continued. palestinian militants have fired more than 2,000 rockets at israel. alphonso van marsh reports on the flight ban into tel aviv. >> reporter: it was this hamas rocket strike on a tel aviv neighborhood that forced the faa to ban u.s. flights to ben gurion airport. the faa warned airlines of a "potentially hazardous situation created by the armed conflict in israel and gaza." us airways quickly canceled its flight from philadelphia and united with two flights out of newark. delta says its own daily flight from new york to tel aviv was already in the air when the decision was made. the flight was diverted to paris with 290 people on board. the rocket destroyed at least four homes. shrapnel landed in a baby's crib, but no one was seriously hurt. the family fled minutes before the blast. >> it's really a miracle that the

former new york city mayor michael bloomberg flew to tel aviv from new york on the israeli airline el almake a point about safety when he was asked today if the faa ban had a political motive perhaps meant to bring israel to peace talks by crippling tourism. he said, "it is true that the faa ban gives hamas a win." meantime, those rockets continue today along with the ground war in gaza and civilian deaths. 36 israelis have been killed, 695 palestinians including 161 children. the u.s. says tonight the number of children killed over a two-day period this week averaged one every hour. our chief foreign correspondent richard engel is there for us again tonight. >> reporter: israel is increasingly cut off. at tel aviv airport today, frustrated passengers waiting for flights that aren't coming. one american plane did land in tel aviv, secretary of state john kerry's official jet. kerry met with israel's prime minister and the palestinian premier. >> we will continue to push for this cease-fire. we have, in the last 24 hours, made some progress in moving towards that goal. >> reporter: but to

ben-gurion airport is infinitely better compared to the security getting on and off american airlines, el al security is infinitely better. you got to remember that israel has been under threat since 1948 when it was founded. and so it's always been threats. they take security much more seriously here and on el al and around the world than we do in america. the faa's got a job to do, and i think the faa by and large does a very good job. i've been a big -- i'm a pilot registered by the faa. that's where my license comes from. i think they do a good job. but in this case, i think that if it hadn't been for the malaysian airline disaster, they probably never would have done this, but this is not the same thing. a rocket here, not a controlled rocket but a ballistic rocket fell a mile away from the airport. and if you closed down jfk every time something dangerous happened within a mile or so of kennedy airport, we wouldn't have a city. we couldn't get people in and out of new york. the real world is that things happen, and in this case i felt as safe as i could possibly feel coming in an el al

airliner inherently increase the risk of something going wrong. as our esteemed representatives in congress have failed to say, el al, to their credit, they are very secure as an airline. they fly as many planes in one year as we fly in one day in this country. >> so the cost isn't even -- we've heard all those arguments. they have amazing security. but if we did that we'den standing in line for five hours before we got on the flight. what about the cost with regard to more weight on the plane with these kinds of devices? more fuel consumption. maybe less baggage. maybe less people on-board. and people on the ground manning these types of systems. correct? >> yeah. really this $50 billion cost includes not just simply putting the stuff on the plane but it also requires training for maintenance of this which would -- the legacy costs which would extend into billions of dollars more. so again, these are members of congress being reactionary. i think they're getting some bad counsel from their staff. maybe they just want the air time which we're giving them right now. it is really kind after non sequitur. >> it was a question as to whether we'd be sa

they make airlines and airports safe in america, but not as safe as ben gurion and el al are. fact that a rocket falls a mile away doesn't mean you should shut down air traffic into a country and paralyze the country. >> let me ask the mayor of jerusalem and here's what the faa said today, the faa is working closely with the government of israel to review the new information they have provided and to determine if potential risks to u.s. civil aviation are mitigated so the agency can resolve concerns as quickly as possible. here's the question, do you trust the faa that is providing accurate information to pilots, airlines and the american traveling public that maybe it's not a wise time to fly in and out of israel. >> well, the israeli government and israeli air force and israeli security forces care about americans and israelis the same, about anybody. so i anticipate that we're talking about rockets that are fired indiscriminately. this is not a missile. not a guided missile like the one that took down the plane in russia and if we would have thought that there was a risk fo

el al, the it's israeli airline, they fly nonstop from delta to israel. now, anderson, all of this is happening the day after the state department issued a travel advisory last night recommending that all nonessential visits by american citizens to israel be canceled. not only israel but to the west bank. they certainly say this has been in effect for a while. you shouldn't go to the gaza strip under any circumstances right now. they did issue that trav advisory last night. recommending that nonessential visits to israel be canceled at least for now. it's going to be a severe blow to the israeli economy which relies heavily on tourism. this is one of the ramifications between what's going on between israel and hamas in gaza. >> just adding to a sense of isolation. has there been any statement by hamas on this? because certainly i imagine they will play this up as -- as a victory of some sort. >> yeah, they certainly will. remember, last week, i spoke to a hamas spokesman, and he said they had issued a statement reading all international carriers, especial

the country's own airline el-al continues to fly. currently, the faa prohibits u.s. airlines from flying over eastern ukraine and crimea, north korea, northern ethiopia and libya. u.s. planes can fly over iraq, but only above 20,000 feet. and the faa warns of dangers including missiles and small arms fire for airlines flying over eight other countries. including syria and afghanistan. but it's up to the individual airline to heed the warning. some critics say security decisions belong solely with governments and said faa warnings urging airlines to use "extreme caution" is too vague. >> i have no idea what extreme caution means at 33,000 feet in a commercial airliner that has no protection against any ground to air missiles. i don't know what the faa is saying there. that's their responsibility. they're the regulatory authority, and the regulatory organizations and they need to err on the side of caution. >> all right. well, the decision is the faa decision is let's be very clear, much bigger than restricting air space over parts of the country. this decision essentia

it's the first time faa has prevented american airlines from flying there. bloomberg is flying on el-al and says he'll make a statement. quote, the flight restrictions are a mistake that hands hamas an undeserved victory and should be lifted immediately. i urge the faa to reverse course and permit u.s. airlines to fly to israel. a lot of the fighting is now in a district east of gaza city. but medical workers say they cannot get ambulances to the palestinian people who were wounded and dying there. they say israeli forces fired on ambulances. israel says hamas uses the vehicles to move weapons and uses hospitals to store them. we are getting new details on an israeli soldier who disappeared on sunday. officials now admit they are not sure if he's alive or dead. they are investigating whether he was captured by hamas. as for the flight ban it was only for 24 hours. we should know what the faa will do next as early as tomorrow morning. at the live desk i'm chris lawrence. >> u.s. intelligence officials believe they know who shot down a malaysian airlines jet full of passengers. the leadin

very rare and we know how to kill them and i don't think that that should make the airlines stop flying to israel. el alrlines are flying around the clock to and from israel. >> so what's the basic message that you want to send out right now because the last time u.s. flights were cancelled to and from israel was back in january of 1991 when iraqi scud missiles launched by saddam hussein's military was launched to tel aviv. what's the major message that you want to send out right now? >> that ben gurion is a safe airport, as safe can be. we know how to operate ben gurion, and the aerial traffic to and out of israel in a safe and secure way and we expect airlines to fly as if there is no conflict down there in gaza. we are very disturbed by the fact that rockets are flying, not only because of aviation but because that's not the way that two nations should live next to each other but that's not part of my responsibility, of course. >> the head of the israel aviation authority joining us from tel aviv. thanks very much for joining us. let me go back to chris in new york. chris, i've got to tell you, when

among the airlines still flying in, british airways, royal jordanian, the israeli carrier el al. and the mood here among the people i've been speaking to, we have been speaking to, it is fairly relaxed. people talking about, you know, annoyance that they have been delayed, but people here saying that they're not that concerned. now, the israeli aviation authority has said that ben gurion is safe for takeoff and landing. but clearly there is a great deal of concern among certainly u.s. air carriers and other european ones like lufthansa because of this rocket which fell about a mile away from here yesterday and given what happened in ukraine, i think there is a sense of a great deal of wishing to not take too many risks at the moment. >> bethany bell there reporting from ben gurion airport in israel. >>> the british model and tv presenter peaches geldof who was found dead in april this year had been a heroin addict, almost taking the substitute drug methadone for two and a half years. that's according to an inquest into her death currently under way. her husband told a hearing tha

in support today, el al, michael bloomberg flew on the israeli airline to show solidarity with israel'seople. are you hearing anything different from israel's officials as the world pressure increases on israel? >> just to speak on the narrow subject of the airline ban, there is outrage in the israeli government on that. they say it's rewarding terror and they want that ban turned over as quickly as possible and they are waiting to see how the faa responds within the next hours, though, because the ban by the faa creates a domino effect among european airlines and now if the faa overturns that decision, israel will follow. i have to say, you referred to my time here. i think that the speed of the killing in gaza among the palestinians is pretty much quicker than any of the past. a number of dead and wounded is happening so quickly. the attack is so intense. but one has to say that israel, when they claim that the reason so many civilians are dying is that hamas is located almost all of their military infrastructure in that area, even though you can say, yes, it's a very densely populate
