Indian agencies on alert after Hamas attack on Israel
Indian security and intelligence agencies are on high alert after the terrorist attacks in Israel killing hundreds and wounding thousands of persons. While the unprecedented attacks on Israel by hundreds of Hamas armed soldiers is considered a massive intelligence failure of its agencies, it has made many countries across the globe to go into a huddle.
Since India is a strategic partner of Israel, it has all the more reason to be on alert as it has estranged neighbors across the borders.
India has also unequivocally condemned and denounced the terrorist attack and Prime Minister Modi was among the first to take to social media, posting on X (formerly Twitter) expressing solidarity with Israel.
It is learnt that National Security Adviser Ajit Doval held discussions with heads of country's various security and intelligence agencies including RAW, Intelligence Bureau, Military Intelligence, Seema Suraksha Bal (SSB) and those handling anti-terror operations. The agencies are already on high alert due to Khalistani activists raising their heads in Canada, UK, Australia and other countries and the latest attack on Israel has sent shock waves across the globe. India has added reasons to be worried and doesn't want to be taken off-guard as Israel's Mossad is considered the world's super intelligence agency.
India is facing a similar situation in Jammu & Kashmir from across the border where militants from across the borders are infiltrating and involved in targeted killings. Though they were on the back foot and terror activities were decreased considerably. But lately, they are raising their heads again.
The Central and state armed Police forces are also being advised to take immediate steps to internal religious or regional conflicts in India and must step up their efforts to protect ethnic harmony.
With Pakistan and Afghanistan expressing their solidarity towards Palestine, urging for an immediate cessation of hostilities, India has reason to be worried too.
