Operation Ajay: 1200 people, including 18 Nepal citizens, evacuated from Israel

As many as 1,200 Indians have been evacuated from war-hit Israel under Operation Ajay, Arindam Bagchi, spokesperson of Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said Thursday.

Operation Ajay was launched on October 11 to facilitate the return from Israel of those Indians who wished to come back home as a series of brazen attacks on Israeli towns by Hamas terrorists.

In a media briefing in New Delhi Thursday, Bagchi said: “1200 Indians have come back in five flights under operation Ajay, including 18 Nepali nationals.”
