The flight carrying 270 Americans landed at Tampa International Airport on Sunday evening, the governor's office said.
Florida governor and Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis and his wife, Casey DeSantis, welcomed hundreds of Americans who flew home from Tel Aviv on Sunday evening after getting stuck for days in Israel by the Israel-Hamas war. The flight, carrying 270 Americans, landed at Tampa International Airport, the governor's office said in a news release. Seven additional evacuees landed in Orlando.
Major airlines canceled flights in and out of Tel Aviv after Hamas' attack on Oct. 7. In recent days, U.S. officials began organizing charter flights for the thousands of trapped Americans, the first of which landed in Athens, Greece, on Saturday. The flights are departing Ben Gurion International Airport. Other families arriving in New York and New Jersey Sunday boarded flights on the Sabbath, the Jewish day of rest, when travel is typically forbidden.
