Israel evacuates embassies in Bahrain, Jordan, Morocco: Israeli Broadcasting Authority

20 Oct 2023 - 18:00

Israel has evacuated several of its embassies in the Middle East, including in Bahrain, Jordan and Morocco, according to the Israeli Broadcasting Authority’s official website on Thursday, Anadolu Agency reports.


The Israeli Authority further stated: “The embassy in Jordan was evacuated at the start of the war by the order of the Foreign Minister, Eli Cohen, and the Ministry’s Director-General.”
The conflict in Gaza, under Israeli bombardment and blockade since 7 October, began when Hamas initiated Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, a multi-pronged surprise attack that included a barrage of rocket launches and infiltrations into Israel by land, sea and air. It said the incursion was in retaliation for the storming of the Al-Aqsa Mosque and growing violence by Israeli settlers.
The Israeli military then launched Operation Swords of Iron against Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip.
Gaza is experiencing a dire humanitarian crisis, with no electricity, while water, food, fuel and medical supplies are running out.
UN Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres, has called for an “immediate humanitarian cease-fire” to ease the “epic human suffering.”
At least 3,785 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza
