[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] Korean travelers stranded in Israel will return home on the 26th via the 3rd temporary flight. The 3rd temporary flight will also be provided by the Israeli government, as with the 1st and 2nd flights.

On the 25th, a Ministry of Foreign Affairs official stated that an additional temporary flight provided by the Israeli government is scheduled to arrive on the 26th, and if necessary, a 4th temporary flight will be operated or other measures will be taken.

The number of Korean travelers who will use the 3rd temporary flight is undecided. The estimated number of Koreans remaining locally is about 300 to 400. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs official said that a total of three temporary flights, including the 1st and 2nd flights, are confirmed, but "the final number will only be known after the return."

Earlier that morning, 221 Korean travelers arrived at Incheon International Airport via the 1st temporary flight. They underwent airport quarantine procedures and were sent home. The 2nd temporary flight carrying 196 Korean tourists is scheduled to arrive in the afternoon.

The Embassy of the Republic of Korea in Israel announced on its website, "Under consultations between the Korean and Israeli governments, 417 people have returned using two temporary flights provided by the Israeli government," and added, "Koreans who have not been able to use the temporary flights are requested to express their intention to return to the embassy by 8 a.m. today."
