CNN’s Pentagon correspondent Barbara Starr said 120 US military and civilian personnel would be withdrawn from Israel, where they were set to take part in military exercises.
Military and commercial air travel has been affected by the violence, which involves the Israeli bombardment of Gaza and rocket attacks by Palestinian armed groups towards Israel.
Earlier on Thursday, Hamas said it fired a number of rockets at Israel's Ramon Airport near Eilat.
