Around 240 Indians from the Bnei Menashe community arrived in Tel Aviv on Thursday under an Israeli relocation programme. They were welcomed at the airport with songs and Israeli flags. The group comes from Manipur and Mizoram. The community says it descends from one of the biblical lost tribes of Israel. Officials said the newcomers would settle in northern Israel. They must convert to Judaism to receive citizenship. Israel plans to bring more members of the community in the coming years. Thousands have already migrated since the 1990s. (PC: AFP)
