The rising tensions, fueled by Iran's missile attacks on Tel Aviv and other cities on Wednesday, have left many Indian workers and students deeply anxious. “The situation is tough… We’ve never faced anything as threatening as this,” shared Rajesh Medicherla, a caregiver from Telangana working in Tel Aviv. Medicherla recorded a video showing a missile striking a building in the city, and in the footage, he can be heard exclaiming in Telugu, “bro… bro… padutundi (brother, it’s falling)!” He added that no one expected the missiles to reach as far as Tel Aviv.
