    El Al says to start rescue flights out of Israel starting on Monday, after getting 25,000 applications

    SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) -Israeli airline El Al said it would resume flights out of Tel Aviv airport on Monday, as the government began to allow limited "rescue" flights in the midst of the Middle East conflict and U.S. bombing of Iran.

    El Al said it had received 25,000 applications for flights out of Israel since it opened a web site for requests on Saturday, although government rules will limit flights to 50 passengers each, it added in a Sunday statement.
