Notably, the warning from the Indian embassy was issued the day after an anti-tank missile fired from Lebanon destroyed an orchard close to Margaliot, a village near Israel's northern border. One Indian citizen was killed and two others were injured. Kerala, a state in southern India, was home to the three Indian nationals.

The casuality 

The dead were identified as Keralan Pat Nibin Maxwell, age 31. He was from Kollam. According to reports, Maxwell had only been in Israel for two months when the attack occurred. He was employed on a farm. Bush, Joseph George and Paul Melvin were recognized as the two injured Indians.

Israel-Hamas Conflict

On October 7, 2023, the terrorist organization Hamas from Palestine unleashed a flurry of rocket strikes on southern Israel, killing nearly 1,200 people and kidnapping 240 more.
The assault prompted an Israeli offensive in Gaza, which is controlled by Hamas, with the stated goals of freeing the remaining hostages and eliminating Hamas. More than 30,000 deaths from the offensive have been confirmed, according to Gaza's health authorities.
