New Delhi: Hours after Israel and the US launched a joint attack against Iran, the Indian Embassy in Tel Aviv on Saturday urged Indian nationals in Israel to exercise “utmost caution” and remain vigilant amid escalating tensions.
In an urgent advisory, the mission asked Indians to adhere to safety guidelines issued by Israeli authorities and the Home Front Command. Citizens were directed to regularly check updated instructions on the official Home Front Command website, remain close to designated shelters and familiarise themselves with the nearest protected spaces at their residence or workplace.
“In view of the prevailing security situation in the region, all Indian nationals in Israel are advised to exercise utmost caution and remain vigilant at all times,” the advisory read.
Indian nationals are advised to avoid all non-essential and unnecessary travel within Israel until further notice and are encouraged to monitor local news, official announcements, and emergency alerts regularly.
