About 60 S. Koreans in Israel evacuated to Egypt as Middle East conflict widens

Around 60 South Koreans in Israel have been evacuated by land to Egypt to seek shelter, according to the foreign ministry Wednesday, as US-Israeli strikes on Iran spiral into a broader Middle East conflict involving neighboring countries. Sixty-two South Korean nationals and four ethnic Koreans with US citizenship left Jerusalem or Tel Aviv on Tuesday morning (local time) aboard a chartered bus arranged by the South Korean Embassy in Israel and headed for the Egyptian border, the ministry said.
