The Czech government will dispatch a repatriation flight from Israel to Prague on Monday, following escalating tensions between Israel and Iran.

The Foreign Ministry confirmed the mission in a statement on Sunday, citing growing security concerns after a series of Iranian missile strikes overnight left at least ten people dead.

Commercial flights between Prague and Tel Aviv have been suspended since Friday due to the closure of Israeli airspace to civilian aircraft. By Sunday, all remaining direct connections were officially canceled for safety reasons.

“Anyone wishing to board Monday’s repatriation flight must contact our embassy in Tel Aviv in advance,” the ministry stated via its official account on the X platform. The government also issued a strong warning against travel to Israel, Lebanon, and Jordan, advising Czech citizens to refrain from visiting the region altogether.

Despite the current airspace shutdown, Czech authorities noted that overland departures from Israel are still possible. Travelers can exit via Jordan, through the Eilat–Aqaba and Allenby Bridge border crossings, or through Egypt via the Eilat–Taba checkpoint.

The ministry emphasized that passengers should stay in close contact with their airlines and monitor flight updates closely.

Additionally, the Foreign Ministry urged all Czech nationals abroad to register in the DROZD system, which helps the government track and assist its citizens in foreign countries during emergencies.

The recent spike in violence began with a dramatic increase in missile attacks from Tehran, as tensions between Iran and Israel continue to spiral. In response, Israel has mobilized its defense systems, and several countries have begun repatriating their citizens.
