Israeli authorities have taken measures to introduce emergency hotlines for immigrant workers, including Sri Lankans, in view of the escalating conflict in the region.
The Foreign Workers’ Authority of Israel has issued guidelines and phone numbers of Israeli authorities for immigrant workers to contact in case of any emergency in case of possible attacks under the prevailing situation.
According to foreign media, on Monday, the Israeli military said its air defence forces intercepted a “suspicious aerial target” launched from Lebanon towards northern Israel.
It said air raid sirens were activated as the projectile was shot down over Kerem Ben Zimra and Gush Halav in the Upper Galilee and added there were no casualties.
Several countries including Sri Lanka, Turkey, Japan, the US, the United Kingdom and France have issued travel advisories to their citizens over Lebanon amid Iran’s threats to attack Israel over the assassinations of Hamas’s Haniyeh and Hezbollah’s military commander Fuad Shukr.
