Amid the joint US-Israel attack on Iran, thousands of workers from Uttar Pradesh in Israel say it's business as usual. The workers, about 6,000 in number, have reassured their families back home that they are safe and monitoring the situation.

These workers, mostly labourers, have been employed in various construction projects in Israel. They were selected through the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) and the Israeli government-run PIBA.

Despite the war tensions, the workers have not stopped working and are seeking safety in bunkers whenever sirens sound during a missile attack. The Indian Embassy in Tel Aviv has advised all Indian citizens to remain vigilant, follow local authorities' instructions, and avoid unnecessary movement.

Approximately 42,000 Indian citizens currently reside in Israel, including 6,004 construction workers from Uttar Pradesh. The state government has clarified that immediate action will be taken in case of any emergency and all possible assistance will be provided to the workers and their families.
