Four of India’s top naval warships docked in Haifa this week as part
of a four-day visit to Israel to “strengthen service-to-service
linkages” and celebrate 20 years of diplomatic ties, the Economic
Times reported.
The warships, which are equipped with advanced electronic sensors and
missile systems, show “the importance India attaches to the growing
Indo-Israeli relations, Indian officials said. They added
that "continued cooperation and engagement between the two countries
is expected to grow,” .
Indian sailors will also pay their respects at a memorial of Indian
soldiers buried in Haifa while fighting for Allied forces during the
liberation of Haifa from Ottoman rule in World War I.
