The Canadian government has started implementing an evacuation plan to bring back Canadians stranded in Israel due to the recent attacks by Hamas and escalating violence in the region. The first Canadian military flight has left Tel Aviv, carrying approximately 130 passengers to Athens. The second flight is expected to leave later in the day. Canada's ambassador to Israel anticipates more flights in the coming days as there is still a high demand for assistance. Airlines have cut flights to and from Israel due to the ongoing violence. Three Canadians have been killed, and three are still missing.
