Germany evacuates 19 citizens from Gaza with Israeli cooperation

Lazar Berman is The Times of Israel's diplomatic reporter

Some 19 Gazans with German citizenship and their immediate family members left Gaza today, the German foreign ministry says.

The Gazans entered Israel through the Kerem Shalom border crossing, Berlin says, adding that they flew on a charter flight from “an airport in southern Israel” — likely Ramon International Airport north of Eilat — to Germany.

The departure was arranged with the “close cooperation” of Israel, says Germany.
