According to the Indian embassy in Israel, the first batch of Indians who had registered to return have been informed and will be placed on the first special flight to India tomorrow. India has started Operation Ajay to make it easier for its citizens to return to Israel amid a full-fledged conflict with the Hamas movement in Gaza. In Israel, there are 18,000 Indians.
Special charter flights are being organized, along with other arrangements. Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar declared in a post on X that he was “completely committed to the safety and well-being of our citizens abroad.”
According to the Indian embassy in Israel, the first batch of Indians who had registered to return have been informed and would be placed on the first special flight to India tomorrow, with the help of Operation Ajay.
The first batch of Indian citizens who registered for the special flight tomorrow received emails from the Embassy. For subsequent flights, messages to other registered passengers would be sent, the statement stated.
Five days after Hamas militants carried out an unprecedented attack on Israeli territory, killing citizens in their homes and on the streets, Israel formed an emergency government to carry out the battle against the organization.
Over the course of the previous five days, many have perished, and Israel’s response to the slaughter has been a major bombardment of the Gaza Strip, which is governed by Hamas.
It appears that Israel is assembling its armed forces around the beleaguered Palestinian enclave in anticipation of a potential ground attack.
Israel claims that Hamas also took about 150 hostages. At least 14 Thais, two Mexicans, as well as an unspecified number of Americans and Germans, are among them.
After days of back-and-forth bombardment with the Iran-backed Shiite militant organization Hezbollah on the northern border with Lebanon, Israel faced the possibility of a multi-front war.
On Wednesday, Hezbollah claimed to have launched missiles at Israel. The Israeli military claimed to have retaliated by attacking one of the group’s military observation positions in southern Lebanon.
On Tuesday, Israel and terrorists in Syria engaged in a firefight after the army reported that munitions were launched in the direction of the Golan Heights.
