Dipanwita Roy, an Indian researcher stranded in Israel's Rehovot amid the conflict, described to Hindustan Times the unprecedented terror as sirens blared for 3 hours. Despite being distant from the attack zone, fear has gripped the town. She urgently seeks government evacuation. Ambassador Naor Gilon said PM Modi was among the first global leaders to back Israel, and Netanyahu updated him, but details are confidential. With India evacuating citizens, Gilon said no Indian casualties were reported yet. He outlined the massive toll, with nearly 1,000 Israelis killed and 150 kidnapped in Hamas' surprise strikes. Israel faces a hostage crisis as Hamas threatens executions.
