Kerala pilgrim group struck in Israel after Hamas attack but safe

A pilgrim group from Kerala is stuck in Israel.

The pilgrims, however, said they were safe and had communicated to their families back home.

The 45-member pilgrim group from Kerala had set out on October 3 and after visiting Jordan and Palestine, reached Israel and were visiting holy places in that country.


A group of 27 people from Meghalaya, stranded in the conflict zone of Israel and Palestine, have safely crossed over to Egypt, Meghalaya CM Conrad K Sangma said.


"As per the latest information and through the efforts of MEA and our Indian mission, our 27 citizens from Meghalaya...have safely crossed the border into Egypt," Sangma posted on X.
