Samsung, LG, Hyundai, Korean Air on alert as Israel battles Hamas 하마스침공비상

[김우정]

현지시간 9일 팔레스타인 무장세력 하마스의 공격으로 800명 넘게 숨지고 2,600명 이상이 다쳤습니다.
하마스가 억류하고있는 인질이 100명이 넘는 것으로 알려졌습니다.
현지에 R&D센터를 운영하고 있는 삼성, 판매조직이 있는 현대차, LG 등은 피해가 없습니다.
대한항공은 물론 운항을 중단했습니다.
새로운 중동전쟁으로 발전하지않으까하는 우려가 커지고 있습니다.

The Israel-hamas war, which broke out on Saturday after the Palestinian militant group launched an abrupt attack, has put Korean companies doing business there on alert for potential damage and disruptions to their operations. As a consequence, Korean companies are now preparing to evacuate personnel, according to industry officials, Monday.
팔레스타인 무장단체의 기습 공격으로 지난 토요일 발생한 이스라엘과 하마스 간의 전쟁으로 현지에서 사업을 하고 있는 한국 기업들이 피해와 조업 차질을 우려해 비상이 걸렸다고 업계 관계자가 월요일 밝혔다.

Samsung is monitoring the safety of hundreds of its employees there, including around 10 Korean staff, ordering them to work from home. The conglomerate runs a subsidiary in Israel, as well as an R&D center in Tel Aviv and a research institute in Herzliya, 14 kilometers north of Tel Aviv.
삼성은 현지에서 한국인 직원 10여 명을 포함해 수백 명의 직원들의 재택근무를 지시하는 등 안전을 주시하고 있으며, 이스라엘에 자회사를 두고 텔아비브에 R&D 센터를, 텔아비브에서 북쪽으로 14km 떨어진 헤르즐리야에 연구소를 운영하고 있다.

Just a week before the outbreak of the war, Samsung Electronics Executive Chairman Lee Jae-yong visited the company's R&D center in Israel for an update on its investments in startups and new technologies there and to address ways to secure future technologies through open innovation. Samsung has invested in Israeli startups specializing in artificial intelligence and robotics.
삼성전자 이재용회장은 전쟁 발발 일주일 전 이스라엘 R&D센터를 방문해 스타트업과 신기술 투자현황을 점검하고 오픈 이노베이션을 통한 미래 기술 확보 방안을 논의했습니다. 삼성은 이스라엘의 인공지능과 로봇 전문 스타트업에 투자했다.

“Our Israeli subsidiary and research facilities are over 100 kilometers from the border,” a Samsung official said. “We confirmed that there is no damage to our employees and offices there.”
삼성관계자는 "우리 이스라엘 법인과 연구시설은 국경에서 100km 이상 떨어져 있다"며 "현지 직원과 사무실에 피해는 없는 것으로 확인했다"고 말했다.

LG Electronics, which operates an Israeli branch in Tel Aviv, also ordered local employees to work from home, while it assesses the safety situation there. The electronics maker acquired a controlling stake in an Israeli cybersecurity company called Cybellum in 2021, as part of efforts to boost ties with the country’s innovative tech firms.
텔아비브에 이스라엘 지사를 운영하는 LG전자도 현지 직원들에게 재택근무를 지시하는 한편 현지 안전 상황을 평가하고 있다. 이 전자업체는 2021년 이스라엘의 혁신적인 기술기업과의 관계를 강화하기 위한 노력의 일환으로 이스라엘 사이버 보안 회사인 Cybellum의 지배 지분을 인수했다.

“The Israeli branch is regularly checking the safety of local employees,” an LG Electronics official said.
"이스라엘 지사는 현지 직원들의 안전을 정기적으로 점검하고 있습니다," 라고 LG전자 관계자가 말했다.
 
Hyundai Motor and Kia, both of which are the top-selling car brands in Israel, have remained vigilant about the safety of their local sales agents and Hyundai Cradle Tel Aviv, the carmaker’s open innovation center in Israel. According to Hyundai Motor Group, no harm to agents or damage to the center has been reported.
이스라엘에서 가장 많이 팔리는 자동차 브랜드인 현대차와 기아차는 현지 판매 대리점과 이스라엘에 있는 자동차 제조사의 오픈 이노베이션 센터인 현대 크래들 텔아비브의 안전에 대해 경계를 늦추지 않고 있는데, 현대차그룹은 대리점에 피해를 주거나 센터에 피해를 주는 사례는 보고되지 않았다고 밝혔다.

Korean Air canceled Monday’s Incheon-Tel Aviv flight while delaying the Tel Aviv-Incheon flight by 15 hours. The carrier usually operates direct flights between Incheon and Tel Aviv every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
대한항공은 월요일 인천-텔아비브 노선을 결항하고 텔아비브-인천 노선을 15시간 지연 운항하고 있다. 대한항공은 보통 매주 월, 수, 금요일에 인천-텔아비브 직항 노선을 운항하고 있다.

As of Monday, the airline had yet to decide whether to continue flights after Wednesday. Given that Hamas reportedly launched a rocket attack on Ben Gurion International Airport, many carriers are suspending flights from Tel Aviv.
하마스가 벤구리온 국제공항에 로켓 공격을 감행한 것으로 알려진 것을 감안하면 많은 항공사들이 텔아비브발 항공편 운항을 중단하고 있다.

Korean Air advised passengers on its website that flights may be delayed or canceled due to the situation in Israel and advised passengers with reservations that could be affected to check the status of their flights in advance.
대한항공은 홈페이지를 통해 이스라엘 상황으로 인해 항공편이 지연되거나 결항될 수 있음을 승객들에게 알리고, 영향을 받을 수 있는 예약 승객들에게는 사전에 항공편 상태를 확인해 줄 것을 당부했다.

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport plans to cooperate with Korean Air and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for the evacuation of Korean nationals in Israel.
국토교통부는 대한항공, 외교부와 이스라엘 교민 대피를 위해 협력할 계획이다.

The foreign ministry said that there have been no injuries reported concerning Korean nationals in the country. There are around 570 Koreans who are long-term residents of Israel and around 360 Korean tourists staying there when the fighting broke out.
외교부는 자국 내 한국인 관련 부상자는 보고되지 않았다고 밝혔다. 이스라엘에 장기 거주하는 한국인은 570여 명, 교전이 발생했을 당시 체류 중인 한국인 관광객은 360여 명이다.

However, the foreign ministry issued a special travel advisory and recommended that Korean nationals leave Israel, raising expectations that Korean companies operating there would evacuate their Korean employees. For now, the ministry said it is not considering sending a military transport plane to evacuate Korean nationals.
다만 외교부가 특별여행주의보를 발령하고 한국인 출국을 권고하면서 현지에 진출한 한국 기업들이 한국인 직원들을 대피시킬 것이라는 예상이 나오고 있는데, 일단 외교부는 군 수송기를 보내 한국인을 대피시키는 방안은 검토하고 있지 않다고 밝혔다.

The presidential office is also analyzing the possible impact of the war on the Korean economy and national security, with National Security Adviser Cho Tae-yong receiving regular updates on the situation in the Middle East.
청와대는 조태용 국가안보실장이 정기적으로 중동정세에 대한 보고를 받는 등 전쟁이 한국 경제와 국가 안보에 미칠 영향에 대해서도 분석하고 있다.
