'Operation Sukoon' in Lebanon

Even as the Europeans and the Americans evacuate their citizens from Lebanon, pounded by Israeli war ships day in and day out, India has shown magnanimity by offering to help rescue Nepalis (est: 4000) and Sri Lankans from the war-torn country. It has arleady rescued 6 Nepalis. In what it calls 'Operation Sukoon,' India has dispatched 3 ships to the region to lift its citizens as well as Nepalis and Lankans. Nepal's logistics in Lebanon are poor, she does not have an embassy there. The closest mission in the region is the Honorary Consulate General at Tel Aviv, Israel. The nearest embassies are in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar.
