Russian embassy warns citizens to avoid travel to Israel amid security concerns

The Russian Embassy in Israel has issued a warning urging Russian citizens to avoid traveling to Israel until the security situation improves.

The advisory cautions Russians currently in Israel to remain calm and vigilant while strictly adhering to safety guidelines issued by Israeli authorities, Caliber.Az reports via the embassy’s official Telegram channel. 

The embassy also advised Russian nationals residing in Israel to stay close to secure locations and shelters. Those who have the ability to leave the country are encouraged to do so promptly to avoid potential dangers should the conflict escalate further.

On June 13, the military operation launched by Israel against key components of Iran’s nuclear and military infrastructure has escalated to a much harsher level. According to Israeli statements, the objective remains the complete elimination of the Islamic Republic’s capability to develop nuclear weapons.

According to the latest data, the Israeli Air Force has struck more than a hundred targets, deploying approximately 200 combat aircraft and over 330 precision-guided munitions, according to official figures. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) emphasises that this is a large-scale, coordinated operation targeting both military facilities and the nuclear programme infrastructure across the entire territory of Iran.
