Greece is included among the first countries that successfully completed the repatriation of its citizens from Tel Aviv, following Hamas’ unexpected attack on Saturday to Israel, the Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on Friday.

“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, through the Embassy of Greece in Tel Aviv and the Consulate General in Jerusalem, mobilized immediately for the safe return of Greek visitors and residents of the area,” the ministry said in a statement.
