In response to the escalating conflict, Air India has also suspended its flight operations to and from Tel Aviv, reflecting the broader impact on travel and safety in the region.
The Indian Embassy in Israel has urged Indian nationals to exercise caution and limit travel as tensions escalate in the Middle East. This advisory follows the recent killing of key figures from Hamas and Hezbollah, which has intensified the conflict in the region.
In a statement posted on X, the embassy emphasized the importance of vigilance and adherence to safety protocols advised by local authorities.
The embassy recommended avoiding unnecessary travel within Israel and staying close to safety shelters. It assured that it is closely monitoring the situation and maintaining regular communication with Israeli authorities to ensure the safety of Indian nationals
“In view of the prevailing situation in the region, all Indian nationals in Israel are advised to stay vigilant and adhere to the safety protocols as advised by the local authorities,” the advisory stated.
For assistance, the embassy provided two contact numbers (+972-547520711 and +972-543278392) and an email address (cons1.telaviv@mea.gov.in).
