Just a few hours after India launched a precision strike targeting nine terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK), Israel has extended its support to New Delhi, defending its right to self-defence.
Ambassador of Israel to India, Reuven Azar took to X and shared that Israel supports India’s right to self-defense. “Terrorists should know there’s no place to hide from their heinous crimes against the innocent," he added, reports News 18.
Israel’s support came just a few hours after India launched a series of targeted precision strikes under ‘Operation Sindoor’ against terror camps in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) on the intervening night of Tuesday-Wednesday. The Indian response came almost a fortnight after the Pahalgam terror attack.
Notably, while Israel backed India over its fight against terrorism, Turkey’s Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan called his Pakistani counterpart Ishaq Dar and discussed the latest developments in a phone call. The call came in the wake of what has been described as unprovoked aggression by Indian forces.
According to Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry, Turkey expressed solidarity with Pakistan and expressed concern over the deteriorating regional security situation. Both leaders agreed to remain in close coordination on the evolving situation.
Indian missiles struck nine terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) late on Tuesday night, two weeks after 26 people were killed in Pahalgam terror attack.
New Delhi described the strikes — called Operation Sindoor — as “measured and non-escalatory," stressing that no Pakistani military facilities were targeted. However, the strikes were carefully calibrated, with precision targeting.
