20,000 Israelis Return Home, 120,000 Remain Abroad

More than 20,000 Israelis have returned to Israel following the airstrikes in Iran last Saturday, according to the Ministry of Transport. Approximately 120,000 Israelis remain abroad and wish to return.

Israel reopened its airspace today, allowing limited flights to Ben Gurion International Airport, near Tel Aviv. The airspace had been closed on Saturday due to the Israeli-American strikes in Iran and Tehran's missile attacks.

The Population and Immigration Authority reported that approximately 300,000 Israelis had departed by air in the last three months. Airlines El Al, Israir, Arkia, and Air Haifa have started flights to Tel Aviv.

Transport Minister Miri Regev stated that everything is being done to ensure the safe return of all Israelis. Departures from Ben Gurion will resume on Saturday, with restrictions.
