Former Israeli Ambassador to India Daniel Carmon has suggested that India may be providing arms to Israel during its conflict with Gaza as a gesture of reciprocity for Israeli support during the 1999 Kargil War with Pakistan.

In an interview with Ynetnews, Carmon highlighted Israel’s role in supplying military equipment to India during the Kargil War and indicated that India might now be repaying the favor. Reports have indicated that India supplied advanced drones and artillery shells to Israel, although India has not officially confirmed these actions or responded to Carmon’s statements. The conflict between Israel and Gaza has seen ongoing military engagements, with recent incidents involving international scrutiny over shipments of military supplies to Israel.
