As tensions grow between India and Pakistan, Israel has told its citizens in Kashmir to leave the area right away.
The updated warning came on Wednesday, after the Indian army attacked terror camps in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) and Pakistan’s Punjab province. In response, the Pakistan army carried out heavy shelling on villages near the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir- one of the strongest in years. The Israeli Foreign Ministry has asked its citizens not to travel to Jammu and Kashmir, except for the Ladakh region.
The ministry said that Israelis currently in Kashmir should “leave immediately” and obey the instructions of local security forces. It also said this follows the travel warning already given by the National Security Council.
Operation Sindoor
India attacked 9 terror-linked sites in Pakistan, and PoK under the operation. The four locations were within the Pakistan’s territory, whereas 5 were in PoK. According to media reports, locations connected to Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) were targeted under the strike. These two terrorist outfits are frequently involved in sponsoring terror attacks in India.
Locations Targeted Under Operation Sindoor:
- Bahawalpur, 100 kms from the International Border and headquarters of the JeM.
- Muridke, located 30 km from the border opposite Samba. It is an LeT camp.
- Gulpur, 35 km from LoC in Poonch-Rajouri.
- LeT camp in Sawai, 30 km inside POK, Tangdhar Sector.
- Bilal Camp, a JeM launchpad.

- Barnala camp, 10 km from LoC opposite Rajouri.
- Sarjal camp, JeM camp, about 8 km from IB opposite Samba-Kathua.
- Mehmoona camp, 15 km from IB, near Sialkot, HM training camp.
According to media reports, at least 80 terrorist were killed in the strikes carried out by India. These strikes were jointly carried out by the Indian Army, Navy and Air Force, employing precision strike weapons. According to Indian officials, the mission was focused, measured, and non-escalatory, and specifically avoided Pakistani military installations. The strikes were reportedly carried out from within Indian airspace, reflected restraint in both targeting and execution.
