Iloilo: The provincial government of Iloilo has initiated "Operation Bulig," a 24/7 hotline dedicated to Ilonggo overseas Filipino workers (OFW) and their families seeking assistance due to the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran. "Since the start of the crisis, we are coordinating with our barangay PESO coordinators, municipal PESO managers, plus our OFW associations to inform us if they happen to have relatives or know of anyone in stricken areas," Iloilo Provincial Employment Service Office (PESO) manager Cynthia Dario stated.

According to Philippines News Agency, "Operation Bulig Ilonggo" was established through Executive Order 2020-004. Dario mentioned that they are in close collaboration with the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) and the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) under the directive of Governor Arthur Defensor Jr. and Provincial Administrator Raul Banias.

Relatives of OFWs in Israel who need assistance are urged to contact the hotline numbers: 0998-990-5663, 0917-7543833, 0961-6804428, 0910-0054682, and 0916-7583156. During the Israel-Hamas conflict in 2023, the PESO profiled approximately 200 Ilonggos residing in Israel.

Iranian missile strikes hit several locations in central and northern Israel, resulting in eight fatalities and 208 injuries, as reported by Israeli media. Around 50 rockets were launched at central Israel in the latest series of Iranian attacks, according to Israeli Channel 12. The rockets impacted the Bat Yam and Rehovot areas near Tel Aviv, causing four casualties, as reported by Israeli public broadcaster Kan.
