KATHMANDU: The Nepali Embassy in Israel has urged all Nepalis residing in the country to follow official safety directives and remain vigilant amid the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict.

In a press release, the embassy announced the launch of a 24-hour hotline service to assist Nepalis during this critical period.

The embassy highlighted that recent attacks in various parts of Israel have resulted in significant casualties and damage. In light of this, it urged Nepali nationals to strictly follow the regularly updated safety instructions issued by Israel’s Home Front Command.

“All educational institutions and non-essential offices remain closed, and public gatherings have been restricted,” the embassy noted.

“We earnestly request all Nepali brothers and sisters living in Israel to comply with local security protocols, stay informed about updates relevant to their areas, prioritize personal safety, avoid going outside unless absolutely necessary, and remain close to shelters or safe locations,” the embassy’s statement reads.

The hotline is expected to serve as a direct line of communication between the embassy and Nepali citizens during emergencies.
