Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and other government ministers are on hand at Ben Gurion Airport to greet a group of around 100 Jewish orphans fleeing Ukraine after Russia invaded.
El Al, Israel’s largest airline, says the flight is part of a special operation to rescue some 300 Jews from the fighting in Ukraine.
The airline says Ukrainian-speaking staff were on board the flight to assist. Some of the orphans have family members who are still in fighting areas, it adds.
