In response to the deaths of Hamas Chief Haniyeh and a top Hezbollah commander, the Indian Embassy in Israel has advised its citizens to remain cautious and stay in touch with the mission. The embassy has released an advisory and a registration form for Indians residing in Israel to help gauge the number of Indian nationals living in the country.
The advisory from the Indian Embassy reads, 'Given the current situation in the region, all Indian citizens in Israel are advised to stay vigilant and stay close to safety shelters. The embassy is closely monitoring the situation and is in regular contact with Israeli authorities to ensure the safety of all our citizens. In an emergency, please contact the embassy's 24x7 helpline at the following numbers: +972543278392 or +972547520711.'
The embassy has also shared a registration form for all Indians to register and follow the safety protocols outlined by local authorities.
Advisory Issued for Lebanon on June 29
It is noteworthy that previously, on July 29, the Indian Embassy in Lebanon issued an advisory for Indian citizens in the country as border violence flared between Israeli soldiers and Hezbollah. According to a Reuters report, the conflict escalated on July 27 when the Lebanese terrorist group launched a rocket attack on an Israeli football field, killing at least 12 children and teenagers.
The Escalating Conflict Between Israel and Hezbollah
It is important to note the ongoing high tensions in the Middle East involving various groups, including Israel and Hamas. Since October 8 last year, there has been border violence between Israeli soldiers and Hezbollah. The recent rocket attack on Israel's northern border was the deadliest strike on Israeli targets since the fighting began, raising concerns about a broader regional war.
