Operation Sindhu: Modi govt to EVACUATE Indians from Israel.

"Operation Sindhu," a government-led evacuation of Indian nationals from Israel, triggered by escalating tensions following Israel's strikes on Iran, which included over 100 targets like nuclear facilities, as reported by The Guardian on June 16, 2025, highlighting a rare direct conflict between the two nations.

This operation contrasts with earlier efforts like the evacuation of 110 Indian students from Iran to Armenia under the same initiative, as noted by India Today on June 18, 2025, suggesting a strategic shift to prioritize citizen safety amid regional instability rather than political alliances.

Historical India-Israel relations, marked by military cooperation since the 1971 Indo-Pakistani War, add complexity, as India's past support for Palestine and current evacuation efforts reflect a pragmatic balancing act in a volatile Middle East.
