Operation Ajay launched by India for safe return of citizens from Israel
By MYBRANDBOOK
To facilitate the return of the citizens from Israel amid a full-blown war with the Hamas group in Gaza, India has launched Operation Ajay. In Isreal, there are 18,000 Indians.
"Special charter flights and other arrangements are being put in place. Fully committed to the safety and well-being of our nationals abroad," Foreign Minister S Jaishankar said in a post on X.
In a post, the Indian embassy in Isreal said that the first lot of Indians who had registered to return have been notified and they will be put on the first special flight tomorrow to India.
"The Embassy has emailed the first lot of registered Indian citizens for the special flight tomorrow. Messages to other registered people will follow for subsequent flights," the post read.
An emergency government has been formed in Isreal to conduct the war against Hamas, five days after the group's fighters killed civilians in their homes and on the streets in an unprecedented assault on Israeli soil.
Over the last five days, thousands of people have died and Israel responded to the killings with a massive bombardment of the Gaza Strip which Hamas rules.
Israel has massed its military forces around the besieged Palestinian enclave in what appears to be preparation for a possible ground invasion.
Hamas also took around 150 hostages, Israel said. They include at least 14 Thais, two Mexicans and an unknown number of Americans and Germans.
Israel faced the threat of a multi-front war after days of back and forth shelling with the Iran-backed Shiite militant group Hezbollah on the northern border with Lebanon.
Hezbollah said it fired missiles at Israel on Wednesday, and the Israeli military said it responded with by striking one of the group's military observation posts in southern Lebanon.
Israel also exchanged fire with militants in Syria on Tuesday after the army said munitions were fired towards Golan Heights.
