Americans Fleeing Israel on Evacuation Flights to Florida

  • About 1,500 Jewish-Americans on a Birthright Israel trip evacuated from Israel to Cyprus via a cruise ship on Tuesday during the escalating conflict.
  • The evacuation occurred amid increased Israeli-Iranian tensions, with Israel attacking an Iranian nuclear site and Iran firing missiles into Israel.
  • After reaching Cyprus, the evacuees were set to embark on four wide-body jets secured by Governor Ron DeSantis for their flight to Tampa, Florida.
  • Birthright Israel CEO Gidi Mark described the 13-hour effort as challenging and emotional, expressing satisfaction that they successfully transferred approximately 1,500 young adults to Cyprus without incident.
  • The operation highlights significant coordination by Florida officials and nonprofits to assist stranded Americans amid closed Israeli airspace and State Department travel advisories advising against travel.
