Israeli embassies worldwide are on high alert after an explosion near the Israeli embassy in India. The blast happened in New Delhi, but luckily no one got hurt. Indian news reported a letter was found near the scene, addressed to the Israeli ambassador.
As a result, all Israeli embassies globally are on heightened security, with some temporarily closed. However, the Foreign Ministry hasn't confirmed these reports, saying they don't comment on embassy security publicly.
Because of increased tensions during the Israel-Hamas conflict, Israelis are advised to be cautious while traveling abroad. Following the explosion in India, Israel's National Security Council warned Israelis there to be extra careful, suspecting it was a terror attack.
The advisory suggests avoiding crowded places, especially those associated with Israelis or Jews. It also advises against displaying Israeli symbols, sharing location photos on social media, and attending unsecured events.
Indian media reported sightings of two suspects near the blast site in security footage. Investigators are trying to find them, although their connection to the explosion is unclear. Israeli security officials are cooperating with Indian authorities in the investigation.
A letter found near the blast site mentioned Israel's military actions against Hamas and used the word "revenge." Investigators are examining if this letter is linked to the explosion. Previously, in 2021, there was an attack outside Israel's embassy in New Delhi, which India claimed was conducted by Iran's Quds Force.
