<p>Israel said it was 'deeply shocked' after an Indian national was killed and two others were injured on Monday (March 4) in northern Israel.

<p>"We are deeply shocked and saddened by the death of one Indian national and the injury of two others due to a cowardly terror attack launched by the Shia Terror organisation Hezbollah, on peaceful agriculture workers who were cultivating an orchard at the northern village of Margaliot yesterday early afternoon," an official social media handle dedicated to bolstering India-Israel ties wrote on X on Tuesday (March 5).&nbsp;</p>
