March 13 (Reuters) - Delta Air Lines ( DAL ) said late

on Wednesday it will resume flights to Israel starting June 7,

becoming the second major U.S. carrier to do so following the

Oct. 7 attack by Hamas militants on southern Israel.

Delta said it will begin daily flights between New York-JFK

and Tel Aviv on an Airbus A330-900neo following an extensive

security risk assessment by the airline. United Airlines

resumed flights to Israel earlier this month from Newark but

does not plan to restart flights from other U.S. cities until at

least this fall.
