Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid said his office had helped 4,000 Israelis leave Ukraine since Russia invaded last week.
Evacuees were forced to escape to neighbouring countries by land after Ukraine closed its airspace to civilian traffic in the face of the Russian invasion.
Many Israelis repatriated were members of the Arab minority who make up 20 per cent of the Jewish state's population.
The foreign ministry said that one Israeli had been killed in Ukraine when the convoy he was travelling in came under fire as he tried to reach neighbouring Moldova.
