\nFormer Israeli Ambassador to India Daniel Carmon has claimed that India might be supplying arms to Israel in its war with Gaza as a way of \u201creturning the favour\u201d for Israeli support during the 1999 Kargil War.
\nIn an interview with Israel\u2019s Ynetnews, Daniel Carmon said Israel was one of the few countries that provided India with weapons during its war with Pakistan.
\n\u201cThe Indians always remind us that Israel was there for them during the Kargil war… The Indians don\u2019t forget this and might now be returning the favour,\u201d Carmon, who served as Israel\u2019s ambassador to India from 2014 to 2018, said.
\nDuring the 1999 Kargil War, Israel provided military supplies and equipment, including guided munitions and drones.
\nDaniel Carmon\u2019s remarks come amid reports that India has supplied drones and artillery shells to Israel in its war with Gaza as the Middle Eastern country ran low on supplies.
\nIn February, media reports said that India had provided Israel with advanced Hermes 900 drones manufactured in Hyderabad.
\nThe Hyderabad facility was set up by Israel to produce supplies for the Indian military. However, around 20 drones were sent to be used by the Israeli Defence Forces, the report said.
\nIndia has, however, not confirmed the reports and has not reacted yet to Carmon\u2019s remarks.
\nIn May, Spain prevented a cargo vessel, \u2018Marianne Danica\u2019, from docking at the Cartagena port on its way to Israel. The vessel, which was coming from Chennai, was carrying 27 tonnes of military supplies, Ynetnews reported.
\nIsrael\u2019s war with Gaza has now entered its eighth month, killing around 38,000 people and displacing lakhs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
