Canberra: The Australian government on Thursday announced that it will run repatriation flights for citizens stranded in Israel amid the ongoing violent conflict.
Minister for Foreign Affairs Penny Wong confirmed that flag carrier Qantas will operate two flights from Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion airport to London for Australians who do not already have plans to leave the area, reports Xinhua news agency.
The flights will be operated free of charge for passengers, with Qantas to absorb the costs.
