The Indian Embassy in Israel issued an advisory on Tuesday, urging Indian nationals to remain vigilant amid escalating tensions in the Middle East. The advisory emphasized the importance of following safety protocols and exercising caution in light of the ongoing situation.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), the embassy provided helpline numbers for citizens and advised them to avoid non-essential travel and stay close to safety shelters. The embassy reassured that it is in constant communication with Israeli authorities to ensure the safety of Indian nationals.

Meanwhile, explosions were reported in Tel Aviv, with warning sirens wailing across the city. Witnesses in Jerusalem also described hearing explosions, according to Reuters.

Israeli media reports indicate that Iran has launched more than 100 missiles at Israel. It remains unclear whether these missiles are striking their targets or being intercepted in the sky. The situation is rapidly evolving.

The Israeli military confirmed that sirens are sounding throughout the country and is advising citizens to shelter in place. This announcement followed warnings from a senior U.S. official, who stated that Iran was preparing to “imminently” launch a ballistic missile attack on Israel. The official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, noted that the U.S. is actively supporting Israel's defensive measures.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a stern warning to Iran on Monday, emphasizing that “there is nowhere in the Middle East Israel cannot reach.”
