The embassy also mentioned, “Please exercise caution, avoid unnecessary travel within the country, and stay near safety shelters.”

The Embassy is monitoring the situation closely and is in regular contact with Israeli authorities to ensure the safety of Indian nationals.

“In case of any emergency, please contact the 24 x 7 helpline of the Embassy: Telephone: A. +972-547520711 B. +972-543278392 Email: consi.telaviv@mea.gov.in,” the advisory stated, sharing helpline numbers for assistance.

Tensions have risen in the region after Israel killed top Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr, claiming it was in retaliation for an attack in the Golan Heights that killed 12 children. The IDF stated that Fuad Shukr, the “most senior Hezbollah military commander,” was killed in the Israeli strike.

The IDF also announced that Hamas military wing commander Mohammed Deif was killed in an airstrike in southern Gaza on July 13. On Wednesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that his nation had delivered “crushing blows” to its enemies in recent days.

His comments came hours after the deaths of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh and senior Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr. Israel confirmed Deif’s death a day after Hamas’ political bureau chief Ismail Haniyeh was killed in an attack in Tehran, according to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
