Confusing Flight Paths Lead American Families to Escape Israel

Families caught in the conflict between Israel and Hamas have begun returning to the United States after days of canceled flights. American airlines suspended flights to and from Tel Aviv, making it difficult for Americans in Israel to return home. The Biden administration chartered flights from Israel to European destinations, allowing families to book connecting flights back to the US. Many families, including those observing the Sabbath, arrived at New York's JFK Airport after stops in European hubs. The reunited families expressed hope for peace and a desire for the fighting to stop.
