The Foreign Ministry issues a warning for Israeli travelers amid the escalating tensions between India and Pakistan.
The ministry calls on Israelis to avoid visiting the contentious Kashmir territory, with the exception of the Ladakh region.
It adds that any Israelis currently in Kashmir should “leave immediately” and obey the instructions of local security forces.
India and Pakistan exchanged heavy artillery fire along their contested frontier today, after New Delhi launched deadly missile strikes on its arch-rival. At least 43 deaths were reported in the fighting, which came two weeks after New Delhi blamed Islamabad for backing an attack on the Indian-run side of disputed Kashmir, which Pakistan denied.
