Delta resuming direct flights between New York and Tel Aviv

May 20 (Reuters) - Delta Air Lines DAL.N said it is resuming daily roundtrip flights from New York JFK Airport to Tel Aviv starting Tuesday.

The flights were temporarily suspended by the U.S. airline in early May in response to ongoing conflict in the region and  follows an extensive security risk assessment by the airline. In early May, Iran-aligned Houthi rebels launched a missile attack near Israel's Ben Gurion Airport.
