A record number of children landed in Israel today as part of a unique aliyah programme.
The 106 children, from North America, arrived at Ben Gurion airport this morning as part of a Jewish Agency for Israel mission to facilitate the move of olim.
Gilad Shalit, a former IDF soldier and captive, welcomed the new arrivals on the so-called “Children’s Aliyah Flight”.
The children were joined by 125 new Israeli citizens.
