The Sri Lankan Embassy in Israel has issued a warning to Sri Lankan citizens residing in the northern parts of the Middle Eastern country, urging them to remain vigilant and strictly adhere to emergency instructions amidst growing concerns of potential security threats.
The embassy has raised concerns about impending attacks, particularly in the cities of Nahariyya, Akko, Haifa, Tiberias, and Nazareth. These cities are located in close proximity to the borders of Lebanon and Syria, making them areas of heightened security risk.
Sri Lankan residents in these northern cities have been advised by the embassy to take precautionary measures, including stockpiling daily necessities such as medicines and food. These recommendations come in response to the perceived security threats in the region.
It's noteworthy that the Israeli government has taken action to enhance security in these vulnerable areas by deploying troops and increasing security measures. The embassy's alert serves as a reminder to its citizens in the region to remain vigilant and responsive to the evolving security situation.
In related developments, earlier today, foreign media reported that Israel's military had ordered the evacuation of northern Gaza, a densely populated Palestinian enclave that is home to approximately 1.1 million people. The evacuation notice stipulates that residents of northern Gaza are to leave the area within 24 hours. The move has raised international concern and is expected to have significant implications for the residents of the affected region.
