The second Indian Air Force (IAF) C17 aircraft, carrying 32 tonnes of aid for civilians in Gaza caught up in the ongoing Israel-Hamas war, departed on Sunday morning for the El-Arish Airport in Egypt.
Israel is currently embroiled bloody conflict with Hamas militants who control the Gaza strip. More than 10,000 Palestinians have been killed in the counter-offensive launched by the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF).
Israel also said it had also carried out around 250 airstrikes across Gaza in the last 24 hours, targeting tunnel shafts, rocket launchers and other militant infrastructure belonging to Hamas.
During this month, Air India operated a few chartered flights to Tel Aviv from the national capital under the Centre s Operation Ajay to bring back Indians from the Jewish nation amid the raging Israel-Hamas war.
