There are no more flights planned to get Australians and their families out of Israel, the Australian government has confirmed.
Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles said two final repatriation flights left Tel Aviv last night for Dubai with around 194 people on board.
The passengers were made up of Australians, but also more than 90 nationals from the Pacific.
Marles said there would likely be no more flights to repatriate Australians.
"We do believe these flights meet the immediate demand," he said.

The government's attention now turns to Gaza where more than 45 Australians have reached out to the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) for assistance.
"Clearly people who are in Gaza right now are in a very, very difficult situation," Marles said.
"We are encouraging them to move south within Gaza, to heed the call of Israel in that respect."
The government is focusing on working with international countries to try and establish a humanitarian corridor out of Gaza.
"We continue to do a lot of engagement with the United States, with Israel [and] with Egypt to try and assure passage for Australians out of Gaza," Foreign Minister Penny Wong said yesterday.
"Obviously the security situation on the ground there is extremely difficult and so far we have not been able to do that. We will continue to do everything we can to arrange that passage."
Meanwhile, Emirates confirmed this morning it is adding a special humanitarian flight to its schedule from Dubai to Sydney. The flight will leave Dubai on Thursday at 9.40am local time.

More than 250 Australians and their families were also flown out of Tel Aviv across three flights on Sunday evening Australian time- two of the flights were on RAAF aircraft and one was a Qantas chartered flight.
Australia has been arranging onward passage from Dubai, including the Emirates flight, while Qantas has put on flight from London.
Australians who wish to travel on the Emirates flight should contact centre or sales offices, or their nearest Australian consulate or embassy, a spokesperson for Emirates said in a statement.

"Emirates stands ready to help impacted Australians return home, through our regularly scheduled services between Dubai and Australia, as well as the deployment of additional humanitarian flights as needed," the spokesperson said.
"We have made aircraft and crew available and put them on standby to activate over the past days, pending confirmation of passenger numbers and other details from the Australian government."
