Former Israeli Ambassador to India, Daniel Carmon, suggests India may be supplying arms to Israel in its conflict with Gaza as a gesture of gratitude for Israel's support during the 1999 Kargil War. Carmon noted that Israel provided India with weapons during the war, and India has not forgotten this assistance. Reports indicate India has supplied drones and artillery shells to Israel, which was running low on supplies. In February, India reportedly sent advanced Hermes 900 drones manufactured in Hyderabad to Israel. The development highlights the strong defense ties between the two nations, with India potentially "returning the favor" for Israel's past support.
