The Indian advisory cautioning against travel to Iran & Israel comes at a time when thousands of Indian workers are heading to Israel for construction work. 

France, India, Russia, Poland, and the United Kingdom are among the countries that have issued travel warnings to their citizens, cautioning them against travelling to Israel and, in some cases, many other neighbouring countries. 

A little over 900 construction workers have arrived from India during the last few months through the B2B route, involving human resources agencies in both countries.

The first group of over 60 workers from India has arrived in Israel under a government-to-government agreement to support the country's construction industry, which is experiencing a significant shortage of skilled workers.
