Israeli diplomat and former Deputy Chief of Mission (DCM) Maya Kadosh has stressed the involvement of Iran behind the deadly strikes.
In an interview with ANI, Kadosh said, «It's definitely something that was well prepared and well sponsored. And we assume that Iran was behind this move.
It's not something that just a group of terrorists came out of the blue and decided to do. It's something that was well arranged and well-funded».
She has also called on the Indians who are stranded in Israel to be very careful and follow the security orders being given.
«I call all Indians in Israel to listen to the security forces, to be very careful, don't leave the proximity of safe rooms.
We have very good defence systems in Israel. As long as people will listen to the orders and stay near the safe rooms and areas, they will be safe.
People should stay where they are, should be aware of what's going on. As soon as they hear the sirens, stay inside the safe room and you will be safe,» she said.
