In a recent development that has sent shockwaves across the globe, Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed profound dismay at the news of terrorist attacks unfolding in Israel. At the break of dawn, the militant Hamas rulers of the Gaza Strip launched an unprecedented multi-front offensive against Jerusalem, unleashing thousands of rockets.

Prime Minister Modi took to Twitter to convey his sentiments, stating, “Deeply shocked by the news of terrorist attacks in Israel. Our thoughts and prayers are with the innocent victims and their families. We stand in solidarity with Israel at this difficult hour.”
