There are millions of Indians spread worldwide. Some are working while others are studying, holidaying or undergoing medical treatment. The problem arises when suddenly a crisis like Iran-Iseral conflict breaks out and they have to be brough home. After launching operation Sindhu to evacuate its nationals from Iran, India has launched another operation to bring back Indians stranded in Israel as the conflict in the Middle East has potential to flare up further with the US attacking three nuclear sites in Iran on Sunday
About 18,000 Indian nationals are currently living in Israel.
The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) had said this week that India will evacuate those Indian nationals “who wish to leave” Israel.
In accordance with its evacuation efforts, Indian nationals have been asked to register themselves with the Embassy of India in Tel Aviv at https://www.indembassyisrael.gov.in/indian_national_reg. India plans to facilitate the travel through the land borders with neighbouring countries and thereafter by air to India.
There is a 24/7 Control Room established at Embassy of India, Tel Aviv: telephone numbers: +972 54-7520711; +972 54-3278392; email: cons1.telaviv@mea.gov.in”
Earlier this week the landing of first special flight marked the first phase of India’s Operation Sindhu.
More than 800 Indian nationals, including over 300 students, have so far been brought back on three charter flights – two from Iran’s Mashhad and one from Turkmenistan’s Ashgabat.
Indian students are using Armenia route to return from Iran. In some cases, Iran has opened its airspace despite ongoing regional hostilities and additional flights may be planned in the coming days
Israel has launched “Operation Rising Lion” last Friday and attacked Iran’s nuclear and military sites, top generals and nuclear scientists after concluding Tehran was on the verge of developing a nuclear weapon.
The conflict escalated on Sunday after the US joined Israel’s military campaign and attacked three nuclear sites in Iran.
