India successfully evacuated a second batch of 235 citizens from Israel on Friday amid the ongoing conflict with Hamas. This follows the first repatriation flight on Thursday which carried 212 Indians back home under 'Operation Ajay', launched after Hamas attacked Israel on October 7th. The two flights so far have evacuated over 400 Indians wishing to leave Israel amidst the volatile situation. There are around 18,000 Indians in Israel, including students and IT professionals. The Indian government is bearing costs to fly back those registered with the embassy who desire to return home until tensions de-escalate.
