In an effort to safeguard Israeli nationals, including diplomats, staff, and tourists, substantial security deployments have been put in place at locations frequently visited by them, including Kosher restaurants, museums, schools, resorts, and popular tourist destinations.

Local police, along with law enforcement agencies, have been tasked with maintain patrolling in these areas, with additional forces being deployed as necessary to bolster security measures.

A senior government official has emphasized the importance of enhancing security arrangements for Israeli missions, diplomats, officials, staff, business establishments, Chabad houses, and Jewish community centers.

In addition to India, several other countries, including the US, UK, France, and Germany, have intensified security around "potential Jewish targets" and "pro-Palestinian protesters" due to the escalating violence in Israel.

France, for instance, has implemented a ban on pro-Palestinian demonstrations, citing concerns for public order, a decision that has sparked debate over potential infringements on freedom of speech and assembly.
