More Israel repatriation planes land in Prague, one more to come

Fourth and fifth planes carrying Czechs wishing to return from Israel in the wake of the Hamas attacks on that country landed in Prague on Friday morning. A total of 66 Czech citizens were on board both flights. One more such flight to Israel is planned, making a total of six. To date about 180 citizens have returned to Czechia from Israel on repatriation flights.

The Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs said late on Thursday that places on the planes had been found for all Czechs who had asked at the country’s embassy in Israel to be repatriated.
