The US has withdrawn approximately 120 military and civilian personnel from Israel, who were in the country to plan upcoming exercises, according to a report.
Citing a Department of Defence official, CNN Pentagon correspondent Barbara Starr says that the group left on a C-17 aircraft to return to a base in Germany.
The continuing violence and lack of commercial air travel options were given as reasons to leave early on military transport.
On Thursday morning, the C-17 was recorded landing in Tel Aviv from Ramstein US Air Force Base in southwestern Germany.
