Israel declares state of emergency amid rocket attacks

The Israeli government declared a state of emergency in the country's central and southern regions on Saturday, following a series of rocket attacks from the Gaza Strip.

The Moldovan Embassy in Israel has issued a warning to Moldovan citizens in the country, urging them to remain calm and follow the instructions of local authorities. The embassy also recommended that Moldovan citizens limit their movements and seek shelter immediately if they hear air raid sirens.

However, in exceptional situations, Moldovan citizens can call the Embassy in Israel on the emergency number +972 52-7789772.

The rocket attacks come amid a recent escalation of violence between Israel and Hamas, the militant group that controls the Gaza Strip. The Israeli military has carried out airstrikes in the Gaza Strip in response to the rocket attacks.
