550,000 Israelis leave Israel in 6 months

The Israeli service of Vremya Izrailya reported a sharp increase in the levels of emigration from Israel after the launch of the Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.

According to the media outlet, only in the first six months of the war against Gaza, 550,000 Israelis left Israel.

Israeli travel agencies said thousands of other Israelis were leaving the country amid fears of an escalating war between Hezbollah and Israel.

According to those travel agencies, all available reservations for travel outside of Israel have been confirmed, and no new registrations are possible.
