Aleksandar Nikolić, honorary consul of Serbia in Israel, stated that currently about 2,500 Serbian citizens are in Israel, with a smaller number being permanent residents. He emphasized that there is constant communication with them despite the difficult situation in the country. In northern Israel, four girls of Arab nationality were killed, and six people are reported missing after residential buildings were hit. Nikolić described the current situation as the most severe in Israel since the Gulf War, with the sky hermetically closed, civil traffic suspended, no classes or public gatherings except for emergency services.
