Israel returns 850 high school students stranded in Poland by war

Some 850 high school students who were stranded in Poland on heritage trips due to the US-Israel joint strikes on Iran have been returned to Israel through secret rescue operations via Taba in Egypt, Hebrew media reports.

The operation was organized by the Education Ministry and the Shin Bet, Ynet says. No update has been given on an educational group of 16 stuck in the United States, or a group of nine stranded at the beginning of the week in Romania.

Ben Gurion Airport reopened to limited arriving civilian flights today after five days of war, as the first repatriation flights began to bring home the tens of thousands of Israelis stranded abroad.
