Kerala man killed on Israel farm: What are Indians doing there?

The Israeli Embassy in New Delhi wrote on X that Hezbollah had launched a “cowardly terror attack” on “peaceful agriculture workers who were cultivating an orchard at the northern village of Margaliot”. After the October 7 attacks, Israel suspended the work permits of thousands of Palestinians, while many other foreign workers simply left the country amid security concerns. This triggered a massive labour shortage — which Indians are now filling.
