Israel-Hamas war: In call with Netanyahu, Modi condemns terrorism in all forms

“People of India stand firmly with Israel in this difficult hour. India strongly and unequivocally condemns terrorism in all its forms and manifestations,” Modi wrote in his post.

PM Modi had earlier said that he was “deeply shocked the news of terrorist attacks in Israel”, affirming that India stood “in solidarity with Israel at this difficult hour”.

The phone call comes in the backdrop of a surprise attack carried out by Hamas militants, who crossed into Israel by land, sea and air on October 7,  firing at least 2,500 rockets into the country by late morning. Over 1,600 people have been killed so far since the escalation of conflict on Saturday, including 900 Israelis, and nearly 770 Palestinians in Gaza.
