'Clear message To The Rest Of The World': Israel Backs India’s 'Operation Sindoor' To Destroy Terror Infra In Pakistan, PoJK

In response to India's recent military action under Operation Sindoor, Kobbi Shoshani, Consul General of Israel to Midwest India, Mumbai, lauded the move and emphasised its global significance.

He stated, "...It's a clear message from India to the rest of the world. Also, from your friend Israel, it is essential to send a message to the terrorist. That was an act of self-defence, and I'm very proud of this operation..."

Referring to the operation’s name, he added, "The symbolic name (#OperationSindoor) that I understand, that unofficially or officially, I don't know, Prime Minister Modi gave the name, it's touched my heart as well..."

On Wednesday (7 May), Israel’s Ambassador to India, Reuven Azar, posted on X: “Israel supports India’s right for self-defense. Terrorists should know there’s no place to hide from their heinous crimes against the innocent.”

India initiated 'Operation Sindoor', a major military operation targeting nine locations linked to terrorist groups including Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), and Hizbul Mujahideen (HM).

India strongly condemned the Hamas-led terror attacks on Israel on 7 October 2023, and voiced deep concern over the civilian casualties that followed in the Israel-Hamas conflict.
