According to a VNA reporter in Tel Aviv, in the face of escalating tensions between Israel and the Hezbollah movement in Lebanon, on July 30, the Vietnamese Embassy in Israel issued a notice advising the local Vietnamese community to take a number of measures to ensure security and safety.

The announcement said that on the evening of July 30 (local time, early morning of July 31 Vietnam time), the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed that it had conducted an airstrike on the Lebanese capital Beirut.

The air strike targeted Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr, who is believed to be behind a rocket attack on the town of Majdal Shams in the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights.

After the airstrike, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant asserted that Hezbollah had "crossed a red line."

The Upper Galilee Regional Council in northern Israel has asked residents to stay close to safe shelters and limit travel and large gatherings.

The IDF said there had been no changes to its guidance to Israelis. However, the airstrike could lead to retaliation by Hezbollah into Israeli territory, potentially leading to a full-scale conflict between the two sides.
