Some 170 refugees from Ukraine arrive in Israel on a rescue flight organized by United Hatzalah.
The refugees all hold Israeli citizenship or are the close relative of someone who does.
They have traveled from towns and cities across Ukraine and then crossed the border into Moldova, where they were met by Israeli representatives who bused them to Romania to catch the flight.
At Ben Gurion Airport, they receive an ecstatic welcome from the crowds who gathered to greet them.
