In an effort to rescue indians who were left behind in israel during the conflict, External Affairs minister S jaishankar declared on wednesday that Operation ajay had begun. "Special charter flights and other arrangements being put in place," he stated. More than 20,000 indians reside in israel, which is at war with the Palestinian organisation Hamas, according to Kobbi Shoshani, the consul general of israel in mumbai, who spoke to the PTI news agency. Shoshani continued by saying he was unsure of the precise number of indians detained in Israel.
In a letter to jaishankar on Tuesday, kerala Chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan stated that some 7,000 state citizens were in israel and asked for help to guarantee their safety. In a separate statement, the tamil Nadu government said that it had learned of 84 state citizens who were stuck in Israel. The stranded indians, according to the authorities, had travelled to israel as tourists, business travellers, or for additional study.

After being lost in israel, actress Nushrratt Bharuccha landed in mumbai on october 8. When the conflict started, she was at the Haifa international Film Festival. In the meantime, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) established emergency helplines in Ramallah and Tel Aviv as well as a 24-hour control centre in delhi to keep an eye on the situation and aid any indians who might need it.


On wednesday, the Israeli-Hamas battle began its fifth day. New parties entered the dispute as the two factions continued to assault one another. The terrorist organisation and political organisation Hezbollah claimed responsibility for the precise missiles fired into Israel. The military of syria have reported that shells fired from its northern neighbour have touched down on Israeli territory, indicating that israel is also under attack from Syria. Israeli soldiers were unable to verify if the rounds were launched by Syrian military personnel, though.
