The first Australians evacuated from Israel have landed in London.
The Qantas flight took off from Tel Aviv just after 2am Australian time, boasting full capacity.
The flight was delayed over an hour after rockets were fired from Gaza towards Ben Gurion Airport before take-off.
The first passengers were chosen based on an assessment of vulnerability including medical needs and families with young children.
Another repatriation flight is expected to take place tomorrow.
