As a result of the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran, the Czech Republic evacuated its citizens from Israel by a government special that landed in Prague.
Czech government special landed in Prague
The Czech government special with 66 people landed on Tuesday early morning in Prague. The Czech Republic evacuated its citizens from Israel, the Czech Minister of Defense Jana Černochová announced on the X platform, TASR writes.
“The evacuation flight of the Army of the Czech Republic, which we sent to aid Czechs in Israel, was just successfully landed at the Kbel Airport (Prague-Kbely Airport, note TASR). We brought home a total of 66 people.
Interrupted connections with Israel
The aircraft brought Czechs who decided to leave Israel because of the ongoing conflict with Iran. Israeli airspace has been enclosed for the fighting, while carriers are disturbing the connections between Prague and Tel-Aviv from Friday, he explains the portal Novinky.cz.
Several Czech citizens also used the offer of Slovakia and decided to travel to the Slovak government special from Jordan to Bratislava. On Monday evening, 14 Czechs arrived on board the Slovak government special. Another 11 should be in the evacuation summer, which the SR will send on Tuesday.
The conflict between Israel and Iran
Israel began attacking Iran for Friday night, who returns in the blows. Tel Aviv claims that the attacks in Iran hit the local military and nuclear facilities and killed several high -ranking military representatives and nuclear scientists. Israel justifies its attacks by trying to prevent Tehran from developing a nuclear weapon.
The attacks have claimed more than 240 mostly civilian victims of lives, most of which in Iran, but more than two dozen in Israel.
