David Agami has been eager to leave Cyprus and get back to his wife and six children since his flight from the US was diverted when Israel and Iran began trading air attacks last week. On Thursday, he was among hundreds of other Israelis who found spots aboard the Israeli cruise ship Crown Iris, which embarked on the trip of about 270 kilometers (167 miles) to Israel. The ship docked in the port city of Limassol Wednesday morning after dropping off hundreds of Jewish emigrees from the US who were evacuated from Israel.
