Tel Aviv (VNA) – The Vietnamese Embassy in Israel has advised Vietnamese nationals to avoid non-essential travel and strictly follow local safety guidelines amid rising tensions and conflict between Israel and Iran.
As of the morning of June 16, there have been no reports of Vietnamese citizens injured or killed in the recent waves of attacks and clashes between the two countries.
Over three consecutive nights, from June 13 night to June 16 morning, security conditions in Israel, particularly in Tel Aviv and central regions, have deteriorated due to ongoing missile strikes and air raids between the two sides. The Israel Defence Forces' Home Front Command has repeatedly sounded alarms and instructed residents to seek shelter in safe zones.
Following the escalation, the Vietnamese Embassy promptly activated its emergency communication channels with the Vietnamese community and coordinated with associations and groups to monitor the situation and provide timely support if needed.
The embassy continues to urge Vietnamese citizens to comply with safety directives from the Home Front Command, limit unnecessary movement, avoid high-risk areas, stay informed through official sources, and remain in contact with the embassy in case of emergency.
From late June 15 to early June 16, Iran launched three missile strikes on cities in northern and central Israel in retaliation for Israeli military attacks.
Israel’s Magen David Adom emergency service reported that five people were killed and at least 87 others were injured in the latest round of missile attacks by Iran./.
