The Czech Republic is dispatching a repatriation flight today to assist its citizens currently in Israel. The flight will accommodate those who have registered with the Czech embassy in Tel Aviv. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has not disclosed additional details due to security concerns. In parallel, several Czech nationals are expected to return via a Slovak-organized repatriation flight from Amman, Jordan, to Bratislava. The operations come amid escalating conflict between Israel and Iran, which has resulted in the closure of Israeli airspace and the suspension of commercial flights between Israel and Prague since Friday. The Czech Foreign Ministry has issued a warning against travel to Israel and advised against visiting Lebanon and Jordan. It has also urged all Czech citizens to leave Iran. As of the weekend, the Drozd travel registration system listed 144 Czech nationals in Israel, 50 in Jordan, 55 in Lebanon, and two in Iran. The Ministry also noted that several hundred Czech citizens reside in Israel long-term. The conflict began late Friday night with Israeli airstrikes targeting Iranian military and nuclear facilities. Israel has stated the strikes were intended to halt Iran’s alleged nuclear weapons program, a claim Iran denies. Since then, Iran has launched multiple rocket and drone attacks on Israeli territory. Both countries have reported casualties, including among civilians. Source: CTK
