Operation Sindhu brings more Indians home

India just flew home 268 more citizens from Israel, bringing the total evacuated under Operation Sindhu to 594.
The latest group landed in Delhi on Tuesday, after a tense few weeks sparked by rising conflict between Israel and Iran.

TL;DR

How the operation has unfolded so far

Operation Sindhu has been all about coordination—using stopovers in Jordan and Egypt to get people out safely.
Earlier flights brought back 161 from Amman, and the Ministry of External Affairs and Indian Air Force are working closely together, welcoming everyone as they arrive.

Why this operation matters

The whole operation kicked off after things heated up between Israel and Iran in mid-June, with missile strikes on both sides.
While the US has helped broker a ceasefire for now, India's quick response shows how seriously it takes the safety of its people—even far from home.
