A series of Iranian missile strikes on southern Israel has left widespread destructions and dozens injured, with the town of Dimona among the worst hit. As per Indian embassy in Tel Aviv, the main waves of immigration into Israel from India took place in 1950s and 1960s. The majority is from Maharashtra (Bene Israelis) who settled in Dimona in 1955 followed by Kerala (Cochini Jews) and Kolkata (Baghdadi Jews) during 1950-60 and 1948-70, respectively.
In recent years, some Indian Jews from Mizoram and Manipur (Bnei Menache) have also been immigrating to Israel.
