US: Apache Helicopter Grounded?

Israel Wire

"IAF not grounding Apache helicopter gunships (BNI-DEC.17) Israel Air Force commanders acknowledge they are carefully monitoring the situation but at this time, are not ordering the grounding of all its Apache helicopter gunships.

The statement follows a US military move over the weekend ordering the grounding of Apaches due to a fault that was discovered in a major operating component of the craft."

Haven't seen anything about this on the other wires....
