European countries have repatriated hundreds of their citizens from Israel as its conflict with Iran rages, AFP reports quoting the foreign ministries of multiple nations in Europe.

Germany was expected to transport some 200 people via a commercial flight chartered in Jordan, foreign ministry spokesman Christian Wagner said. “A second flight out of Amman was scheduled for Thursday,” he added.

In Rome, Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said flights had been made available to Italian nationals wishing to leave Israel.

Greece said it had repatriated 105 of its citizens, plus a number of foreign nationals.“The people repatriated were transported to Athens from Sharm El-Sheikh, in Egypt, onboard C-130 and C-27 Greek air force planes,” it said in a statement.

Along with Greek citizens and their families, other people on the flight included citizens of Albania, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, France, Germany, Georgia, Hungary, Italy, Lithuania, Romania, Sweden, Switzerland and the United States.
