India extends Operation Sindhu to Israel evacuation.
India will now include Israel in its ongoing Operation Sindhu, expanding the evacuation effort beyond Iran
Indian citizens in Israel who wish to leave can register for voluntary repatriation under this extension
Evacuees from Israel will travel by land to neighboring countries and then fly back to India
This is part of the broader Operation Sindhu effort, which began on June 18, 2025, focused initially on evacuating Indians from Iran
Indian embassies in Iran, Armenia, and Qatar have been coordinating the evacuation logistics
The operation highlights the MEA’s proactive stance, demonstrating India’s commitment to protecting its citizens during international conflicts
Infrastructure disruptions—like internet blackouts and power outages in Iran—have complicated the evacuation efforts
Emergency registration details are being shared by the MEA, allowing all Indians in Israel to request evacuation under the expanded scope of Operation Sindhu
