US begins assisted departure flights for Americans in Israel
The US has started evacuating assisted departure flights from Israel to repatriate Americans wishing to leave amid the conflict with Iran, the US ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, says.

Dozens of Americans who have been trying to leave Israel gathered at a hotel in central Israel on Saturday, where US embassy consular staff began processing their departures.
According to US State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce, more than 25,000 people have sought information from the State Department about the “situation in Israel, the West Bank and Iran.” There are about 700,000 Americans living in Israel, according to Huckabee.
