Israeli airlines say they are seeing an uptick in the number of Israelis asking to fly out of Ukraine, according to reports.
On Sunday, the Foreign Ministry said flights were returning from the country with few passengers, despite leaders urging citizens to leave immediately as war drums beat louder.
According to Army Radio, over 1,000 people flying out of Ukraine are expected to land in Israel Monday, and there is high demand for plane seats.
Kan too reports that more are flying out, reporting that 500 people are expected to fly from Kyiv to Israel Monday.
There are thought to be 10,000 to 15,000 Israelis in the country.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
