Delhi, Oct, 11: The move follows concerns about the safety of Indian nationals in the region following the launch of a massive military operation by Israel.

India has set up a 24-hour control room in the external affairs ministry to monitor the situation in Israel and Palestine and to provide information and assistance to its citizens.

The move follows concerns about the safety of Indian nationals in the region following the launch of a massive military operation by Israel to retaliate against attacks by Hamas militants last weekend that killed almost 1,200 Israelis and injured 2,400.

Another 950 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli military strikes.

There have been no reports of casualties among the 18,000 Indian nationals living in Israel.

Officials have said there were no plans to evacuate the citizens as no requests have been received in this regard so far.
