TAMPA, Fla. — An evacuation flight from Israel landed at Tampa International Airport this morning, carrying Americans who were stranded in Israel.
The travelers went directly from the plane to their bus, bypassing the terminal. Tampa Jewish Community Centers and Federation president Jeffrey Berger said this flight is the first of many flights out of Israel.
Berger thanked Grey Bull Rescue, the Florida Department of Emergency Management, and other agencies that helped organize the evacuation.
ABC Action News anchor Deiah Riley also spoke with Michel Dinesman, Director of Operations for Project DYNAMO, who said they are also working to evacuate Americans from Israel.
Corporation for Public Broadcasting shutdown will impact Tampa's PBS and NPR stations
From Mr. Rogers to Sesame Street. From Downton Abbey to the documentaries of filmmaker Ken Burns. They’re shows so many Americans love and grew up on, and they were broadcast on local PBS stations thanks to funding from the Corporation of Public Broadcasting.
