The Indian Embassy in Beirut has advised Indian nationals in Lebanon to exercise caution following escalated tensions in the region. This comes after a rocket strike on a soccer field in Majdal Shams, northern Israel, killed 12 children on July 27. Israel and the USA have blamed Hezbollah for the attack, prompting Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu to vow a severe response. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken urged restraint to prevent further escalation. The Indian Embassy has provided emergency contact information for nearly 4,000 Indian nationals in Lebanon, mostly employed in various sectors.
