On March 1, the Russian Embassy in Tel Aviv announced that it had no information about Russian citizens who could have been injured as a result of rocket attacks on Israeli territory.

"We are closely monitoring the situation. Embassy staff are in close contact with representatives of the Israeli authorities," the statement said.

Since February 28, the embassy's hotline and e-mail have received several hundred requests from Russians in Israel on consular issues and for background information.

The diplomatic mission recalled that a hotline phone and an e-mail of the consular department are available for emergency calls. The Consular Department continues to receive citizens regarding the issuance of passports, return certificates and visas.

The Embassy strongly recommended that Russians remain calm and vigilant, follow the instructions of local authorities and stay close to safe places. Those who have the opportunity are advised to leave Israel until the situation normalizes.

On February 28, the United States and Israel launched a large-scale military operation in Iran. Trump called her goal "protecting the American people."

As part of the Israeli-American Operation Lion's Roar, which used the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln and dozens of Tomahawk cruise missiles, military installations in western Iran, the residence of the country's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, as well as an elementary school in the city of Minab were hit.

In response, Iran launched Operation True Promise 4 and attacked American military bases in the Middle East, as well as Israeli cities. The UAE, Bahrain, Iraq, Oman and other Persian Gulf countries were affected by the Iranian attacks.

Later, on March 1, it became known that the supreme leader of the Islamic Republic, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was killed as a result of Israeli attacks. The Iranian government has declared national mourning. An interim governing council has been established in the country. Iranian President Masoud Peseshkian has vowed to avenge Khamenei's death. Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed his condolences over the death of the Iranian leader and condemned the assassination.
