Israel Denies Reports of Shelter Denial to Indian Nationals Amid Middle East Conflict

Israel has denied social media reports claiming Indian nationals were denied access to shelters in Jerusalem amid escalating Middle East conflict, calling them "fake news." Guy Nir, spokesperson for the Israeli embassy in India, stated that metro stations serve as official safe spaces welcoming people of all ethnicities, including Indians. The Indian embassy in Tel Aviv has advised its nationals to exercise caution, stay near designated shelters, and follow Israeli authorities' safety instructions amid ongoing US-Israeli strikes on Iran and subsequent retaliatory attacks by Iran.
