Why did a to leave second batch of 443 Indians have Israel through Jordan and Egypt?

The well-coordinated effort between New Delhi and the three Indian missions has provided significant relief to Indians in Israel, who have been living under constant threat from sirens and seeking shelter in bunkers.

On June 23, 2025, the second phase of India’s evacuation mission from war-hit Israel safely moved 443 more Indian nationals—175 via the Jordan border and 268 via the Egypt border—bringing the total evacuated to 603 in two days.

The first group of 160 had left on June 22. These operations, part of “Operation Sindhu,” were coordinated by India’s Ministry of External Affairs and embassies in Israel, Jordan, and Egypt, who arranged flights and managed logistics amid ongoing missile threats and constant sirens.

A 24×7 Control Room in Tel Aviv oversaw registrations, issued advisories, and prioritized evacuations based on urgency, including children, women, students, and medical cases.

Prime Minister Modi closely monitored the situation, emphasizing India’s commitment to the safety of its citizens. Indian missions praised the support from Israel, Jordan, and Egypt, while officials highlighted the mission as a continuation of India’s role as a reliable global first responder, following earlier efforts like Operations Ganga, Devi Shakti, Kaveri, and Ajay.

With over 40,000 Indians in Israel, the embassy continues to urge unregistered nationals to come forward for assistance.
