India has issued a timely advisory to its nationals residing in Israel in the wake of a recent Hamas terrorist attack on Israel. The advisory, which comes as a response to the escalating conflict in the region, urges all Indian citizens in Israel to exercise caution and remain vigilant.

"In view of the current situation in Israel, all Indian nationals in Israel are requested to remain vigilant, and observe safety protocols as advised by local authorities," stated the Indian government. "Please exercise caution, avoid unnecessary movement, and stay close to safety shelters."

The advisory also provides valuable resources for Indian citizens in Israel to stay informed and seek assistance. It directs individuals to the Israeli Home Front Command website (https://www.oref.org.il/en) for additional information and preparedness guidelines. In case of emergencies, a dedicated contact number, +97235226748, and an email address, cons1.telaviva@mea.gov.in, have been provided.

Hamas claimed this was only their "first strike." Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has underscored the gravity of the situation, stating, “We are at war, and we will win.” He further emphasized that the enemy would face unprecedented consequences for its actions.
