Groups of police officers are on duty at the Israeli Consulate General in St. Petersburg. This is reported by Kommersant-SPb .

It is noted that the operatives were at the representative office on Khersonskaya Street all last night amid the escalation of the conflict between Israel and Iran. Police units are also on duty near the Cathedral Mosque on Kronverksky Avenue.

There have been no provocations over the past 24 hours.

The media reports that there are no police officers near the Iranian consulate.

Earlier, the Russian Embassy in Tel Aviv advised Russians to refrain from traveling to Israel and for their compatriots who are on its territory to leave the country.

Let us recall that the escalation of the conflict occurred on the night of June 13 - Israel announced the military operation "Rising Lion", striking about a hundred targets in Iran, promised to destroy Israel's nuclear infrastructure and carried out a missile strike on military facilities and air bases.
