Tel Aviv/New Delhi, June 13 (UNI) Due to the ongoing security situation in Israel, the Indian Embassy on Friday released an advisory for all Indian nationals currently living in or traveling to the country.

The embassy has urged everyone to remain alert, follow the safety guidelines issued by local Israeli authorities, and stay informed through the Home Front Command website (oref.org.il/eng).

The advisory emphasizes the importance of minimising travel, exercising caution, and staying near designated safety shelters. Indian citizens are encouraged to maintain contact with the embassy and prioritize their safety at all times.

The embassy of India in Israel through a post on X said, "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 (oref.org.il/eng)".

It further urged the Indian nationals to, "exercise caution, avoid unnecessary travel within the country and stay close to safety shelters".

In strikes termed Operation Rising Lion, many Israeli fighter jets launched aerial assaults in Iran on Friday, pounding multiple high-value nuclear and military targets. Chief among them was Iran's key uranium enrichment site at Natanz.

Iranian state television later confirmed the death of Maj Gen Hossein Salami, chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), in what it called "a direct assassination by Zionist forces."
