Filipinos in Israel were advised early Wednesday morning, Oct. 2 (Manila time), to stay in protected areas after Iran launched more than 200 missiles towards the Jewish state following Lebanon's attack.
The Philippine Embassy in Tel Aviv said that Filipinos in Israel must stay inside shelters or mamad and get indoors as soon as they hear emergency sirens or receive notifications on their phones.
"Sundin po natin ang alituntunin ng Home Front Command. Mag-ingat po tayong lahat. Ang inyong kaligtasan ay mahalaga sa amin (Let's follow the instructions from the Home Front Command. Take care. Your safety is important for us)," the embassy added in a post on Facebook.
Iran launched ballistic missiles towards Israel following deaths of the Gazan people as well as leaders of Hezbollah and Hamas, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said.
IRGC also warned that Israel would face “crushing” attacks should it respond to the latest attack.
The latest development came as Israel's war on Hamas started spreading, with Iran and Lebanon also now fighting Israel.
