In response to the unfolding events, Indian nationals in Israel were advised to remain calm and follow safety protocols provided by local authorities. The Indian embassy in Israel assured its continuous monitoring of the situation and remained in close contact with Israeli authorities and the Indian community to ensure the safety of all citizens.
Regarding flight operations, Indian airlines were likely to suspend flights to and from Tel Aviv amid the heightened tensions between Iran and Israel. This decision came after Iran and its proxies launched over 200 projectiles, including ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones, towards Israel.
While an Air India flight safely landed in Tel Aviv, further operations were anticipated to be suspended pending an official announcement. Major airlines like El Al and Air India had been operating commercial flights between Israel and India, but their services were likely to be affected by the escalating conflict.
India reiterated its commitment to maintaining security and stability in the region and emphasized the importance of de-escalating tensions through diplomatic means.
