Last night, three planes arrived in Australia from Lebanon, carrying hundreds of people who had been caught in the midst of the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah. The planes landed in Sydney and Brisbane, and there were many emotional reunions as loved ones were finally reunited.
One person shared their fear and relief, saying, "We could hear the bombing and we were so scared. Our family was so scared." Another expressed gratitude for the support they received from the Australian government and people, and their hope for peace among nations. As they set foot on Australian soil, one person exclaimed, "There's no place like home. It's the best feeling ever."
Since the beginning of the conflict, more than 1200 Australians, permanent residents, and their immediate family members have been evacuated from Lebanon on government charter flights. However, there are still close to 4000 Australians waiting to be evacuated, with priority given to those who are vulnerable and displaced.
While further flights are planned in the coming days, the government has urged Australians in Lebanon to take the first available flight, as there is no guarantee that these flights will continue. The IDF claims that the replacement commander of Hezbollah was killed overnight, and Israeli troops have raised their flag in a Lebanese town.
In response to accusations of occupation, Israel has stated that they have no intention of occupying Lebanon. However, hundreds of rockets have been launched at the northern Israeli town of Haifa, with some causing injuries despite the country's missile defenses. One resident shared their experience, saying, "There have been several injuries."
