Indian citizens expressed happiness.
Trimbak Koli, an elderly couple who returned from Israel, said that I had been in Israel for one and a half months. The situation suddenly deteriorated there. We could hear the sound of explosions at any time of the day. We were scared. Now we are back. We are very grateful to Prime Minister Modi. We had gone there to meet our son's newborn baby. They will stay in Israel. They will not return. We have returned. The situation is still worsening. His wife says that we saw bombs (missiles) in the sky. Six of them passed over our heads. When we saw this, we hid. We are very grateful to Prime Minister Modi.
Thanks to the government
An Indian said that we thank the government for bringing us back home. We got a lot of help from the Indian Embassy. I am grateful to the Government of India and the Indian Air Force. The Indian Embassy and the Government of India helped us a lot during the evacuation process. When we left our house in Israel, we could still hear the sirens.
This is what the Air Force said.
