Tal Raymond, Dana Elhadad and their two young children were among the first Australians at Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion Airport for a Qantas repatriation flight on Friday, but not all of them got on board.
Tal Raymond, Dana Elhadad and their two young children were among the first Australians at Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion Airport to prepare for evacuation flights that left Israel on Friday afternoon .
Most airlines have cancelled commercial flights to the city since the Israel-Gaza war broke out last weekend, and leaving has been difficult. It was the first of several planned repatriation flights evacuating Australians out of the country as the Israel-Gaza war escalates. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has said Qantas is working closely with the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade .Israel's Defense Forces confirmed on Friday that it had called on civilians in Gaza City, the home of more than 1 million people, to evacuate to the south by midnight local time .
A Hamas official said the Gaza relocation warning was "fake propaganda" by Israel and urged citizens not to fall for it. "What will happen to our patients? We have wounded, we have elderly, we have children who are in hospitals," she said.
