The Indian Embassy in Israel has advised its citizens to exercise caution and follow safety protocols amid escalating tensions between Israel and the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah. In a statement released on Friday, August 2nd, the embassy urged Indian nationals to stay vigilant and adhere to guidelines provided by local authorities.
The advisory, shared on the microblogging platform X, emphasized the importance of staying close to safety shelters and avoiding unnecessary travel within Israel. The embassy assured its citizens that they are closely monitoring the situation and maintaining regular contact with Israeli authorities to ensure the safety of all Indians in the country.
In case of an emergency, the embassy provided 24×7 helpline numbers and their email address for immediate assistance. Additionally, they shared a Google registration form for Indian nationals to register their presence and receive updates on safety measures.
This advisory follows a similar one issued by the Indian embassy in Lebanon on July 29th, where violence erupted between Israeli troops and Hezbollah after a rocket attack killed 12 children in Israel. The Indian government is actively monitoring the situation and taking necessary steps to ensure the well-being of its citizens in the region.
