As of Wednesday morning, 1536 Australians previously registered with DFAT have departed Israel or the occupied Palestinian territories.
Foreign Minister Penny Wong has warned Australians to leave Israel and take any opportunity possible as the situation remains “highly challenging and rapidly changing”.
Seats on a number of repatriation flights had been left empty despite all of them being allocated, the foreign minister said.
About 1200 Australians are in contact with the government and are receiving updates about returning home.
Australia is also helping schedule onward departures from London and Dubai to Australia, with 222 people – including 164 Australians – landing in Sydney on an assisted flight on Tuesday night.
A Qantas flight left London on Tuesday night and is due to land in Sydney on Wednesday evening with about 300 passengers on board.
The government is also working to support Australians to leave the West Bank as it liaises with international partners to arrange transport to Jordan.
The safety of the 46 Australians in Gaza remains unknown after a barrage of Israeli rockets hit the territory.
DFAT remains in direct contact with Australians seeking to leave Gaza and they have been told to be ready in case the humanitarian corridor eventuates as it may not stay open for long.
