China has urged it’s citizens living in Israel to stop risking their safety and either evacuate or return to China “as soon as possible”, the Chinese Embassy in Israel said.
China’s Xinhua state news agency quoted the embassy as saying that the Chinese government is organising another evacuation mission for its citizens through the Taba border crossing with Egypt.
“The scope, frequency, and intensity of missile and drone attacks on Israel have further increased, leading to rising casualties and property losses, as well as repeated incidents of people being harmed because they failed to reach bomb shelters in time,” Xinhua quoted the embassy as saying.
The embassy also reminded its citizens still living in Israel “to stay away from airports, ports, power plants, refineries, and other key infrastructure facilities and sensitive military sites”.
