Homeward Bound Due to Heightened Attacks in Israel
LG Electronics has decided to send Korean employees working at its Tel Aviv, Israel sales branch back to Korea in the aftermath of the armed conflict between the Palestinian armed faction Hamas and Israel.
According to Hankook Ilbo, LG Electronics is taking measures to ship its Korean employees and their families home as everyone now fears for their safety. This is due to the fact that war between Israel and the Palestinian political and militant organization, Hamas, has already been declared after the number of deaths from the surprise attack early Saturday rose to more than a thousand.
The number of LG Electronics staff who are eligible to return to South Korea is said to be about 20. The company is currently trying to find flights that will bring everyone home as soon as possible
