Israel-Iran conflict: India urges citizens in Israel to stay alert and avoid unnecessary travel

India has advised its citizens in Israel to exercise caution, remain close to designated shelters and avoid all non-essential travel within the country as tensions between Israel and Iran continue to escalate.

In an advisory issued on Monday, the Indian Embassy in Tel Aviv urged Indian nationals to stay vigilant and strictly follow safety instructions issued by Israeli authorities.

The advisory comes after renewed exchanges of missile attacks between Israel and Iran. Iran launched dozens of missiles towards Israel on Sunday evening, prompting retaliatory action from Israel and raising concerns about a wider regional conflict.


"In view of the prevailing security situation in the region, all Indian nationals in Israel are advised to exercise utmost caution and remain vigilant at all times," the embassy said.


The mission asked Indian citizens to closely follow guidance issued by Israeli authorities and the Home Front Command, which is responsible for civil defence and emergency preparedness.

Indian nationals have also been advised to remain close to designated shelters and identify the nearest protected spaces near their homes or workplaces.

Avoid unnecessary travel

The embassy further advised Indian citizens to avoid all non-essential and unnecessary travel within Israel until further notice.

"Citizens are encouraged to monitor local news, official announcements, and emergency alerts regularly," the advisory said.

The Indian mission said it remains in close contact with relevant authorities and will continue to issue updates as the situation develops.

To assist citizens during the ongoing security situation, the embassy has activated 24x7 emergency helplines and urged Indians to contact the mission in case of any emergency.
