The Indian Embassy in Israel Friday issued a travel advisory for its citizens following the launch of Israel’s strikes on Iran amid rising nuclear tensions.

The High Commission has advised to stay vigilant and avoid unnecessary travel. It also urged citizens to stay close to designated safety shelters and avoid unnecessary travel within Israel until further notice.

“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 Israeli authorities and home front command (https://www.oref.org.il/eng),” the mission posted on its social media X handle, soon after Israel declared the launch of Operation Rising Lion against Iran.

“Please exercise caution, avoid unnecessary travel within the country and stay close to safety shelters,” the embassy added.
