Poles from Israel will be taken out by transport plane

Polish authorities will send a C-130 Hercules transport aircraft to Israel in order to take its citizens out of the country. This was announced by Polish Deputy Foreign Minister Pawel Jablonski on RMF FM.

He specified that the plane would depart for Tel Aviv on Sunday afternoon and arrive at Ben-Gurion Airport in the evening of the same day.

Jablonski said there is still no data on how many Poles will wish to leave the country, which has entered the war.

We are checking what possibilities and needs there are. If there is a need to organise further evacuation flights, we will not rule them out," the deputy foreign minister added.

The Polish authorities do not name the exact number of Poles in the country, but say they are talking about "hundreds" of people. At the same time, in Warsaw assure that none of the citizens of the country - did not suffer.

Recall that on Saturday morning, 7 October, the terrorist group Hamas carried out a large-scale attack on Israel from the Gaza Strip, firing several thousand rockets on Israeli territory, as well as breaking the border in several places. The terrorists took hostages and also claimed control of an Israeli military base.

Today, Sunday, 8 October, Israel's political-military cabinet endorsed the introduction of paragraph 40 Aleph, which means a formal declaration of war. This clause has not been introduced in the country since 1973.

Meanwhile, new figures have emerged on the casualties of the invasion of Israel by Hamas militants. The escalation has killed more than 500 people and injured nearly 1,900. These are not final figures, as many people are missing.
