The Indian embassy in Tel Aviv took precautionary measures by issuing a safety advisory to Indian citizens in Israel, emphasizing the need for vigilance and adherence to safety precautions amidst escalating tensions in the Middle East. Concerns were raised as Israel's military carried out localized raids against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, triggering missile strikes from Iran towards Israel, resulting in the activation of air raid sirens in major cities like Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.
The embassy's advisory specifically advised Indian nationals to exercise caution, avoid unnecessary travel within Israel, and stay close to safety shelters as a preventive measure. Following the recent events involving the killing of Hezbollah's commander and an Iranian official in Israel's strikes in Beirut, the situation in the region has become increasingly tense, necessitating heightened alertness and compliance with safety protocols. The Indian embassy reassured that it was closely monitoring the situation and maintaining regular communication with Israeli authorities to ensure the safety and well-being of Indian citizens in Israel during these challenging times.
