Following the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, the Indian Army has launched a major retaliatory strike on terrorist hideouts in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). The mission has been named Operation Sindoor. After the operation, international reactions have started pouring in, with Israel openly backing India.
Israel’s ambassador to India, Naor Gilon, expressed strong support on social media platform ‘X’, stating:
“Israel supports India’s right to self-defense. Terrorists must know that there is no place where they can hide after committing heinous crimes against innocent people.”
