More than 300 Fijians who were in Israel in the height of war will be arriving into the country in a Fiji Airways flight at 3am tomorrow.

They were in Jerusalem to attend the Feast of Tabernacles 2023 that concluded in the weekend.

In a facebook post early this morning, the Paramount Chief of the Burebasaga Confederacy, Na Marama Bale na Roko Tui Dreketi Ro Teimumu Kepa who was in Jerusalem says this pilgrimage has attracted so much interest and awareness in the capability of Fiji Airways.

She says the airline that they used to look down upon has actually landed at Ben Gurion Airport at the height of the latest ongoing battles, showing the greatness of God.

There were uncertainties surrounding their return as war has erupted between Hamas and Israel on the Gaza border.

More than 800 Israelis and about 500 Palestinians have been killed amid heavy fighting.

Stay with us for developments.
