Israel-Palestine War Updates: First charter flight carrying 212 Indians, including an infant departs from Israel's Ben Gurion Airport
Israel-Palestine War Updates: The initial charter flight carrying 212 Indian citizens, including an infant, seeking to depart Israel, took off from Ben Gurion Airport on Thursday, amidst the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas.
These Indian nationals left for their home country following a "first come, first served" protocol, as confirmed by reliable sources cited by PTI.
This flight, which departed at 22:14 local time, was organized to facilitate the return of individuals who were unable to leave due to Air India's immediate suspension of flights on the day hostilities began, which continues to affect its commercial operations.
It's important to note that the government is covering the travel expenses of these returning citizens, and they are not required to pay any fare for their journey.
