With this latest flight, India has now repatriated 818 citizens from Israel as part of its ongoing mission to ensure the safety of nationals amid the volatile security situation in West Asia.

The operation, which began in response to the escalating conflict between Iran, Israel, and the United States, has successfully airlifted thousands of Indian nationals from conflict zones, including Iran and Israel, using both commercial and military aircraft.

The Ministry of External Affairs stated that the safety and well-being of Indian nationals remain the government’s highest priority as regional tensions persist despite a fragile ceasefire mediated by U.S. President Donald Trump.
