Dutch airline KLM on Wednesday said it had retracted an offer to the Dutch government for a flight to Israel to take Dutch citizens out of the country, citing safety concerns.
"The military flight operated today and the most recent information on the situation in Israel indicate it is not sufficiently possible for a civilian airline to conduct a flight that's safe for crew and passengers," the Dutch arm of airline Air France KLM AIRF.PA said.
The Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it would send a military plane to Israel on Thursday instead.
