A group of Israelis who became stranded in northern Ethiopia amid escalating conflict has been safely evacuated, the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on Wednesday. The rescue operation was conducted via helicopter.
The group had been trapped for three days in the Tigray region, where fighting has recently intensified. Airports in Gondar were closed and roads in the area were blocked, complicating efforts to leave. The Foreign Ministry had been monitoring the situation since the beginning of the week, exploring potential exit routes based on security conditions on the ground.
Earlier in the week, the ministry had stated it was tracking the Israelis' situation and considering departure options. The successful helicopter extraction marks the end of their ordeal.
