JAKARTA - The Indian government issued an alert warning to many of its citizens working on the Lebanese-Israeli border, including the Birkat Risha area where Israel's military post is located.

Through the Indian Embassy in Israel, they are advised to move to safe territory following a hezbollah missile attack to Israeli military headquarters killing an Indian citizen.

Citing Al Jazeera, the Indian government has communicated with authorities in Israel to ensure the safety of its citizens after the missile strike on Monday, March 4.

Based on information from the Indian Embassy published on X's social media accounts, they claimed the Hezbollah missile attack hit Indian workers who were farming in fruit plantations in the Margaliot area.

In addition to the death toll, it was stated that two Indians along with five other foreign workers were injured.

The Indian Express newspaper identified the death toll as a 31-year-old man from the city of Kaikulangara in the southern Indian state of Kerala. He reportedly moved to Israel two months ago to work on an agriculture in the Margaliot settlement.

Thousands of Indian workers are known to have been employed on the border of Lebanese-Israeli countries to replace Palestinians who have been barred from entering Israel since the outbreak of the war in Gaza.
